The pressure needed to break glass varies depending on the type and thickness of the glass. Generally, it takes about 10,000 pounds per square inch (psi) to break tempered glass, but can be significantly less for thinner or annealed glass. For safety glass, such as laminated glass, it can take even higher pressures to break due to its construction with multiple layers.

Force needed to break glass?

There is no exact amount because there are many things that make all glass different. First there are things called flaws. These are things such as scratches, chips, etc. The size and the thickness also determine how much force is needed. The thicker and smaller the pane, the harder it is to break. It also depends on the type of glass. The most common are soda lime, borosilicate, and quartz, which are very different in strength.


How little pressure is needed to break a shin bone?

Your question is a bit too broad, because it depends on what bone it is. That's not much of an answer, but if it helps any, I know that if you bend your elbow the way opposite that it is suppose to bend, it only takes 5 pounds of pressure to break it.


Why does a glass bottle brake in the freezer?

A glass bottle can break in the freezer due to a sudden change in temperature causing thermal stress on the glass. When liquids inside the bottle freeze, they expand and apply pressure to the walls of the bottle. This stress, combined with the already brittle nature of glass, can lead to the bottle breaking or shattering.

How much pressure can glass withstand?

The pressure that glass can withstand varies depending on the type of glass and its thickness. Generally, most common types of glass can withstand pressures of up to 5,000-10,000 pounds per square inch (psi) before breaking. Specialized types of glass, such as tempered or laminated glass, can have higher pressure resistance.
