Explain the procedure to compute the tensile strength

Briefly explain the procedure to compute the tensile strength?

E

Expert

Verified

Tensile strength is not actually computed; it is measured. It is stated as the point at which the sample of material fails whenever subjected to the tensile stress. The unit of measure of tensile strength and stress is the Newton per square meter (or N/m2), also termed as the Pascal (Pa). Tensile strengths of different building materials, like steel, are measure in the millions of Pa.
