A 50 mm × 8 mm tie bar is supposed to carry a load of 80 kN. A specimen of the quality steel of 250 mm2 cross-sectional area was tested in a laboratory. The maximum load carried by the specimen was 125 kN. What is the required gauge length (mm) for specimen if the permitted yield stress is 280 N/mm2?
