General knowledge

Science: tensile strength is the maximum pulling force a material can bear before breaking; steel has high tensile strength; ductility is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wires (gold is the most ductile metal); malleability is the ability to be beaten into sheets.

विज्ञान में tensile strength (तन्य शक्ति) वह अधिकतम खिंचाव बल है जो कोई पदार्थ टूटने से पहले सह सके; इस्पात की तन्य शक्ति अधिक होती है; ductility (तन्यता) धातु का तार में खींचे जाने का गुण है (सोना सबसे अधिक तन्य धातु है); malleability (आघातवर्धनीयता) चादर में पीटे जाने का गुण है।
