How strong are
nylon fishing lines?
|

|
| |
| Introduction:
The ability of a
material to resist breaking under tensile stress is one
of the most important and widely measured properties of
plastics including nylon filaments used as fishing line.
Most plastics stretch under tensile force and become
longer. The percentage of increase in length that occurs
before it breaks under tension is called the ultimate
elongation of a plastic.

Project
description:
The amount of force required to break a line is listed on its
packaging, but it may not always be true. This project is an
attempt to measure tensile strength of a nylon fishing line with
simple equipment. |
