Answer:
HB = 3.22
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the Brinell Hardness is given as follows:
[tex]HB = \frac{2P}{\pi D\sqrt{D^{2}- d^{2} } }[/tex]
where,
HB = Brinell Hardness = ?
P = Applied Load in kg = 500 kg
D = Diameter of Indenter in mm = 10 mm
d = Diameter of the indentation in mm = 1.55 mm
Therefore, using these values, we get:
[tex]HB = \frac{(2)(500)}{\pi (10)\sqrt{10^{2}- 1.55^{2} } }[/tex]
HB = 3.22
