Tensile strength of a material is obtained by dividing the maximum load during the test by the:-

AArea at the time of fracture

BOriginal cross-sectional area

CThe time of fracture and original cross-sectional area

DMinimum area after fracture

Answer:

B. Original cross-sectional area

Read Explanation:

The tensile strength of a material is obtained by dividing the maximum load during the test by the original cross- sectional area. TensileStrength=PmaximumAoriglnalTensile Strength = \frac {P_{maximum}}{A_{origlnal}}
