Force vs Cross-Sectional Force vs Cross-Sectional AreaArea
• Large cross-sectional area means Large cross-sectional area means more bonds to break. more bonds to break.
• The larger the cross-section, the The larger the cross-section, the larger the force required to cause larger the force required to cause failure. failure.
ResultsResults• Bonds should have constant strength Bonds should have constant strength
