Question

which fibre has highest tensile strength ? options are- cotton, wool, nylon, silk

Answer 1

Tensile strength is a measurement of the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks. The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure,
answer silk

Answer 2

Nylon fiber has the highest tensile strength.

• Tensile strength refers to the measure of the resistance on the lengthwise stress.
• A tensile tester is used to measure tensile measure.
• Tensile tester stress at which this takes place is the tensile strength of that material.
• 4 major stress-strain curves can be divided as follows:

1. Proportional limit
2. Yield limit
3. Strain hardening
4. Necking
