What is tensile strength? How is this property utilised in certain application.
Answers
Explanation:
Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling (tensile) force. It is customarily measured in units of force per cross-sectional area. ... Tensile strength measures the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks.
Your Solution:
When the material is under tension, it is known as tensile. The forces that are acting along the axis of force are responsible for the stretching of the material. The external force per unit area of the material resulting in the stretch of the material is known as tensile stress.
The magnitude F of the force applied along an elastic rod divided by the cross-sectional area A of the rod in a direction that is perpendicular to the applied force.
This property is used to withstand the longitudinal force, thus it is used in construction of bridges, buildings etc.
