Tensile strength of a material is the ability of a material to resist the lateral load without failure.

Tensile strength of a material is the ability of a material to resist the lateral load without failure. Correct Answer False

Tensile strength of any material is defined as the ability of a material to resist axial or centric load without failure, it is mainly determined by performing tensile test. When equal and opposite forces are applied to the material simultaneously that axially pulls the material, which further causes elongation of the material by decrease in its diameter.
