Load causes an elongation.
Reading is noted of the difference between the two vernier scales when there are equal weights as compared to when there are unequal weights.
Difference between readings is taken as the elongation.

1) Toughness
2) Brittleness
3) Hardness
4) Resilience
5) Stiffness
Toughness
Ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without rupturing.
Ceramics- low toughness
Ruller- high toughness
Brittleness
Breaks being subjected to stress without undergoing significant deformation under strain.
Hardness
Measure of how resistant a material in to a permanent shape change when subjected to an applied force.
Resilience
Resilience is the capacity of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically and then the energy in released upon unloading.
It is obtained from the area of the stress v/s strain graph.
Ures =21∫0(Δx)dσdx=21AF∫0(Δx)dx
Ures =21AF(Δx)d
Stiffness
Stiffness is the ratio of the steady force acting on an elastic body to the resulting displacement. As such, a stiffer material has a higher elastic modulus.
