tensile strength is usually given as a stress term - force per unit area. In the English system this is pounds per square inch (psi). In metric SI system,it is given in Meganewtons per meter squared (megapascals, MPa)

What is the tensile strength in psi of the material being tested?

The tensile strength of the material being tested is measured in pounds per square inch (psi).


What is the SI unit for strength?

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.


What does Tpa stand for tensile strength related studies?

If you are thinking TPa, that is terapascals, or 1 trillion pascals. It is used where truly massive pressures exist. For tensile strength, no material has a strength measured that high. Most materials are measured in MPa, or 1 million pascals.


Which material has the highest tensile strength spider silk copper glass or plastic?

spider silk's tensile strength (per unit of density) is about ten times that of steel cable.


What is a stretching force?

A stretching force is basically tensile strength. It is measured in pascals or equivalently newtons per square meter. For example, carbon nanotubes have a stretching force or tensile strength of 63 GPa.


How is tensile strength measured and what factors are taken into consideration during the measurement process?

Tensile strength is measured by applying force to a material until it breaks. Factors considered during measurement include the material's composition, shape, and temperature, as well as the testing method used.


What is the difference between tensile strength and tensile stress?

tensile stress is the force ehich applies on a body and the force exert by this body against this force is called tensile strength... simply tansile strength measure the force required the force to pull yhe body like rope and wire .


What is the difference between tensile strength and tensile stress, and how do they relate to each other in terms of material properties?

Tensile strength is the maximum amount of tensile stress a material can withstand before breaking. Tensile stress is the force applied per unit area of the material. Tensile strength is a property of the material itself, while tensile stress is the external force acting on the material. In terms of material properties, tensile strength indicates the material's ability to resist breaking under tension, while tensile stress measures the amount of force applied to the material.
