A tensile test is carried out on a bar of mild steel of diameter 2 cm. The bar yields under a load of 80 kN. It reaches a maximum load of 150 kN. And finally breaks a load of 70 kN. If the diameter of fracture neck in 1 cm, calculate the ratio of Ultimate Tensile Stress and the Breaking Point Stress.
