The tensile strength of a material is the value at which the material fails when subjected to a tensile force. (Tensile means a force pulling the wood fibers lengthwise, as opposed to a compressive force.) There are a lot of different types and load cases for wood, so there is not one answer to this question. For example, wood used outside will fail at a lower load than wood inside. Wood is also anisotropic, i.e. it has different strength in different directions. Example values of tensile strength vary anywhere from 175 pounds per square inch for Utility Grade pine to 1400 psi for Dense Select Structural grade Douglas Fir. A good reference for material strength data for most species and grades of commerically available wood can be found in the American Institute of Timber Construction handbook.
If you mean force, the SI unit is the newton. If you mean the strength of a material - its ability to withstand force - there are different types of strength: look up Compressive strength, Tensile strength, Shear strength. For example, the units for tensile strength are newtons / square meter.

The major difference is that Swingline staplers have staples that are only designed for used with this type of stapler. Additionally, a Swingline stapler uses heavy-duty staples that have a minimum of 135,000 PSI wire for greater tensile strength.
Tensile strength annealed 207
no iron has any tensile strength
The tensile strength of concrete is 10% of it's compressive strength.
tensile strength of astm A672Gr.55
Tensile strength of Fe410Wa is 410 Mpa Min
Liquids do not have tensile strength. The equivalent property is viscosity.
Tensile strength was discovered by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1800s.
You mean tensile strength. Different steels have different tensile strengths. The way they are made (drawn, cast, forged, etc.) is critically important to the tensile strength. By the way--steel is more important for its stiffness than its tensile strength.
The tensile strength of JB Weld is approximately 3960 PSI.
Tensile strength is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand before breaking, while ultimate tensile strength is the highest stress a material can handle before fracturing. Ultimate tensile strength is typically higher than tensile strength, as it represents the material's absolute breaking point. In measuring a material's ability to withstand forces before breaking, ultimate tensile strength provides a more accurate and reliable indication compared to tensile strength.
tensile strength is approximately between .08 to .15 of compression strength in concrete
