INTRODUCTION
THEORY
EXPERIMENT – 1
AIM
To find the tensile strength of given samples of polyester ,
cotton , wool , silk fibers.
Apparatus Requirements:-
Cotton, wool, silk, polyester, hook, weight hanger,
weights
7|Page
PROCEDURE
(i) Cut out cotton fibre, polyester fibre and wool fiber from
the given sample of nearly same weight
(ii) Tie one end of cotton fibre to a hook which has been
fixed in a vertical plane. Tie a weight hanger to the other
end. The thread get straight.
(iii) Put a weight to the hanger and observe the thread
stretch. Then, increase the weights gradually on the hanger
until the breaking point reaches and note the minimum
weight needed for breaking the cotton fibre.
(iv) Repeat the experiment 5 times and note down the
readings
(v) Repeat the above experiment by tying polyester and wool
fibers to the hook separately.
Observations:-

EXPERIMENT – 2
AIM
To find the effect of acids and alkalis on tensile strength of
cotton, silk and wool fibres.
Apparatus Requirements:-
Cotton, wool, silk, polyester, hook, weight hanger,
weights.
Chemical Requirement:-
Hydrochloric acid( M/10) and sodium hydroxide(M/10 ).

Procedure:-
1. Cut out cotton, wool and silk threads from given samples.
The threads should be nearly the same weight.
7. Repeat the experiment for 5 times for each case and note
down the readings
8.Repeat the above procedure for the sample of cotton and
nylon fibres.
