It means that a piece of rope or cable will, at least, be able to with stand that amount of weight. Don't go anywhere near this weight though.

What is the difference between tensile strength and ultimate tensile strength, and how do they compare in terms of measuring the ability of a material to withstand forces before breaking?

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.


What must the minimum tension of a single object be in order to prevent it from breaking under stress?

The minimum tension of a single object must be greater than the stress applied to it in order to prevent it from breaking.


What type of strength is needed by a bolt when it is being tightened by a wrench?

The type of strength needed by a bolt when being tightened by a wrench is typically tensile strength. Tensile strength refers to the resistance of a material to breaking under tension. The bolt needs to be able to withstand the force applied by the wrench without breaking.


What is the difference between tensile strength and ultimate strength, and how do they compare in terms of a material's ability to withstand external forces?

Tensile strength is the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking, while ultimate strength is the maximum stress a material can handle before deforming permanently. Tensile strength measures a material's resistance to breaking, while ultimate strength measures its ability to resist deformation. In terms of withstanding external forces, a material with higher tensile strength is better at resisting breaking, while a material with higher ultimate strength is better at resisting permanent deformation.


How do you calculate the breaking force?

Breaking force can be calculated by using the formula: Breaking force = Tensile strength x Area Where tensile strength is the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking and area is the cross-sectional area of the material being tested. It can vary depending on the material and testing conditions.

Tensile strength vs breaking strength?

Tensile strength is the minimum force that the specimen withstands without suffering a failure. Breaking strength is that force which is required to break the specimen.


What is the equation for breaking strength conversion to tensile strength they aren't the same are they?

well refering to breaking strength and tensile strength, there are alot of similarities but this doesnt mean thet are the same for tensile strength the easier of the two equations its T.S= force/ area.


Which one is greater yield strength or breaking strength?

The breaking strength is always greater than the yield strength.


Are breaking strength and breaking force equal terms?

No.


Why is tear strength lower than breaking strength?

Tear strength involves only individual threads in a garment to be broken. Breaking strength involves all of the weave to be broken.


What do you mean by minimum tensile strength?

Tensile strength is determined from testing a large number of samples. Some will fail higher or lower than others, and an average strength is determined. Minimum tensile strength is usually calculated from statistics using a Weibull probability analysis. In this case the minimum tensile strength usually is reported as the Weibull A value, which is the value at which 99% will survive with 95% confidence. Weibull B, usually based on fewer samples, is the minimum value determined to survive with 90% reliability and 95 % confidence.

What is the ultimate shear strength of stainless steel 316 n 304 n 302?

It depends on how it is worked, but a minimum strength in tension is 80,000psi. In shear, it is 0.577 times the tension strength, or shear strength minimum = 46,000 psi


What is a way to do an action if an endurance is breaking up?

idk just if u have strength then do an action such as if endurance begins breaking up then your action is to use strength
