Q

Tensile strength of plant fibres

A
  1. Use the forceps to separate the fibres.
  2. Test the tensile strength of the fibres by using suspended masses to compare
    e.g. types of fibres, internal vs external fibres etc.

risks- scalpel

variable-
control = length of fibres
independent = weight added to snap the fibres
dependent = amount of weight needed to snap the different fibres
