Tensile force formulas
A cylindrical steel beam is 2 inches diameter and 6 feet long. The modulus of elasticity is 30 x 1,000,000 psi. If the beam is subjected to a tensile force of 1000 lbs, what will be the resulting unit strain?
A. 16,000 psi
B. .002 ft-lbs/sq-in
C. 0.000064 ft/ft
D. .0000106 in/in
