SUMMARY
Kevlar exhibits the highest tensile strength among materials, with a yield strength of 3620 MPa. In contrast, cooked spaghetti is identified as having the lowest tensile strength, making it a suitable example for discussions on material properties. This highlights the significant variance in tensile strength across different materials, emphasizing the importance of material selection in engineering applications.
