Best Answer

to calulate the tensile strength of a copper wire is that get mass/weights, a clamp stand, a g clamp, a copper wire and a boss head. Tie a loop from a wire and hang it on the edge of the clamp stand, put the g clamp on the clamp stando it dosent fall of, anyway after you tie a loop at each ends of the copper wire hook the edge of the weights at the bottom of the loop keep putting on weights until it snaps and make sure you have googles on.

Can metals be strenched out into a thin wire?

Yes, which is why we get wire of various gauges and tensile strength. The copper wire used in electricity is one example.


What is the tensile strenght of copper wire?

copper has no linear portion to their stress-strain curve, so the offset method cannot be used. The European Standard for general-purpose copper rod, EN 12163 (Ref 8), gives approximate 0.2% proof strength.


Matter being drawn out into wire?

Copper can be drawn into wire because its elastic strength is lower than its tensile strength. If it were the other way around the copper would be brittle and break from being drawn. To draw wire from copper it is usually annealed first (heated to reduce its elasticity) then drawn into rods through a thimble, then progressively drawn though smaller and smaller dies to reduce its diameter to the preferred gauge or size. As the copper is drawn through the dies it heats up from friction and actually needs to be cooled to prevent it from breaking, as this annealing actually reduces the tensile strength of the copper as well. *elastic strength is the strength of material that resists permanent deformation of the material. Tensile strength is the resistance to the material being pulled apart.


Copper wire is an example of what?

A Reddish metal, a good conductor of electricity and heat, ductility, tensile strength, malleability, and good, clean fun!


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.


Is gold stronger than copper?

Gold is softer than copper. Copper is stronger and has a higher tensile strength compared to gold. This is why copper is often used for electrical wiring and plumbing where strength is important.


What is the difference between tensile strength and tensile stress?

Tensile strength is the maximum force a material can withstand without breaking, while tensile stress is the force applied per unit area of the material. Tensile strength is a property of the material, while tensile stress is a measurement of the force applied to the material.


Which non ferrous metal tensile strength can be increased by hammering or rolling?

Copper is a non-ferrous metal whose tensile strength can be increased by hammering or rolling. This process, known as cold working or cold forging, helps align the grain structure of the metal, resulting in improved strength and hardness.
