Can you guys solve a debate for me?If you have two objects and apply a physical stress to them, let's say in the forum of pressure.
First object: Tensile strength 400 lbs. and you apply 200 lbs
Second object: Tensile strength 200 lbs and you apply 100 lbs.
So each is under 1/2 it's tensile strength.
The debate:
Choice A: First object is under twice the stress since the load is double
Choice B: Both are under the same stress since each are being subjected to 50% of their max.
Thanks,
Ron
