Margin of safety is defined as
Answer: D
Correct answer: The allowable divided by the applied, less one
The definition is
\[ MS = \frac{\text{allowable}}{\text{applied}} - 1 \]Subtracting one places the break-even point at zero, so a positive margin means adequate and a negative margin means overloaded - which is far easier to scan down a page of a stress report than a column of ratios that must each be compared with unity.
