Calculation Formula

Tensile Strength (σ) = Force (F) / Cross-sectional Area (A)

Where:
σ = Tensile Strength (Pa)
F = Force applied (N)
A = Cross-sectional Area (m²)

Result

Tensile Strength: -- Pa

How to Use the Tensile Strength Calculator

The Tensile Strength Calculator is used to determine the tensile strength of a material. Tensile strength is a measure of the material's ability to withstand a pulling or stretching force. It is calculated by dividing the force applied by the cross-sectional area of the material.

Steps to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the force applied to the material in Newtons (N).
  2. Enter the cross-sectional area of the material in square millimeters (mm²).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the tensile strength.
  4. The result will be displayed in Pascals (Pa).

Example Calculation

If a material is subjected to a force of 1000 N and has a cross-sectional area of 50 mm², the tensile strength would be:

Tensile Strength = 1000 N / 50 mm² = 20000 Pa = 20 MPa

Principle of Tensile Strength

Tensile strength is an important property of materials used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering. It helps in determining the maximum stress that a material can withstand before it breaks or deforms permanently. The higher the tensile strength, the more resistant the material is to breaking under tension.
