The ratio of the largest load in a test to the original cross-sectional area of the test specimen is called the _____________ stress?
Correct answer: C. Ultimate
- A. Yield point
- B. Breaking
- C. Ultimate
- D. None of these
Explanation
The largest load carried during the test divided by the specimen’s original cross-sectional area is the ultimate stress. Yield stress marks the onset of permanent deformation, while breaking stress refers to failure rather than the maximum-load point.
