Question

What change do you observe on applying pressure on brittle substance

Answer 1

Answer:

This changes are observed:

Explanation:

1. It's shape changes.
2. It breaks.
3. It gets weak or its thickness gets reduced.

Answer 2

On applying pressure on a brittle substance, it will break or fail within a small amount of application of force.

1) Brittle materials are the ones which shows very little elastic deformation before failure.

2) Unlike brittle materials which, on application of a load upto elastic limit returns back to its original state, brittle materials do not show wide range of deformation before failure.

3) Examples of brittle materials are: glasses and ceramics.
