The material will yield when stress reaches a critical value.
Stress = Load / Area
Thick steel wire is stronger than thin steel wire because there is more cross sectional area in the thick wire. Although the material's strength in load per unit area would be the same, the ultimate load that the wire can sustain would be more in the thick wire. A simple way of looking at it is to imagine a thick wire as a number of thin wires stuck together. If a thin wire can support a mass of 1kg then 2 thin wires can support 2kg. A wire which is twice as thick (twice the cross sectional area) can also support 2kg.

What is steel cutting?
It depends on how thick of steel you're aiming to cut. But most job shops process steel with either laser cutting (for thin steel) or waterjet cutting (for up to 12" thick)... or machining.
Is it better for a cactus cover to be thick or thin?
Thick
Thin wires resist electricity more or less than thick wires?
A thin (smaller diameter) wire resist more electricity than a thick (larger diameter) wire. Just like a larger pipe will allow more water to flow than a smaller pipe, a larger wire has more cross-sectional area to allow more current to flow.
Can you usually hear the water running through the pipes?
Funny Not really usually but if you do, then you have yourself really thin pipes. Its not that its a problem, its just that your pipes are thin and not that thick. I f i were you i would get myself some thick pipes
What is flexible steel rule?
The term rule in this context is synonymous with ruler, a marked strip that can be used to measure length. A flexible steel rule is make of thin, flexible steel.
What is stronger thin nylon or thick nylon fishing line?
thick
Will thick steel wool or thin steel wool conduct electricity better?
Thick steel wool will conduct electricity better than thin steel wool because it has more surface area for the current to flow through. The thicker material allows for more pathways for the electricity to travel, resulting in lower resistance and better conductivity.
What insect made material is stronger than steel?
Spider silk. The reason it seems so weak when you accidentally walk through a web is because it is so thin. If you could make spider silk thicker it would be stronger than a steel cable.

Are there more thick filaments than thin filaments in smooth muscle?
There more thin filaments than thick filaments in smooth muscle. The ratio is of the thin to thick filaments in the smooth muscle is approximately 15:1.
Are the veins the strongest and thickest of the blood vessels?
The veins are neither strong nor thick of the blood vessels. On the contrary the veins are thin and thin walled. The arteries are strong and thick. They have to bear the pressure of the blood that comes from the heart.
What is the difference between thick and thin atmosphere?
A thin atmosphere is thin and a thick atmosphere is thick
Difference between thin and thick cylinder?
A thin cylinder has a wall thickness significantly smaller than its radius, while a thick cylinder has a wall thickness comparable to or larger than its radius. Thin cylinders typically use simpler stress analysis assumptions, whereas thick cylinders require more complex stress analysis methods to account for the effect of the thicker walls.
What is the difference between a thick convex lens and a thin convex lens?
A thick convex lens has a larger thickness and can bend light rays more than a thin convex lens. This results in a shorter focal length and stronger focusing ability for a thick convex lens compared to a thin convex lens.
What is the word pair for thick?
The pair word is 'thin': thick and thin.
Is marmite stronger than vegemite?
It depends on how much you put on, if you have more of one than the other then it will be different. they taste the same if you have a thick layer of Vegemite and a thin layer of marmite. The stronger one is marmite if you have the same amount.
Does thick wire produce more light than thin wire?
yes
