The endurance limit of a specific grade of steel is same as its yield strength. The ultimate strength of this grade of steel is twice of its yield strength. A component made of this steel is loaded in tension and unloaded periodically. It is required that the component does NOT fail for at least $10^6$ loading cycles, as per the Soderberg law. Considering a factor of safety of 2 , the maximum applied tensile principal stress is

A machine element has an ultimate strength $$\left( {{\sigma _u}} \right)$$ of $$600\,\,N/m{m^2},$$ and endurance limit $$250$$ $$\,N/m{m^2}.$$ The fatigue curve for the element on log-log plot is shown below. If the element is to be designed for a finite of $$10000$$ cycles, the maximum amplitude of a completely reversed operating stress is _________ $$\,N/m{m^2}.$$
