How This Is Calculated


$$ F_s = \sigma \cdot A $$ where:

Fs   =   Force requried   (N)

σ   =   Stress in the material   (Pa)

A   =   Cross-sectional area   (m²)


Assumptions


  • The material properties are uniform.
  • The cross-sectional area is uniform.
  • Friction effects are not considered.
  • Deformation is elastic.
