Hinge is a joint. It is designed to join two 'arms' together while letting them move freely. A lever is when a pivot, load, effort is present. Although hinge itself is not a lever, but taking our biceps as an example, that would be a Class 3 lever.
Physical properties. Tungsten is a hard brittle solid whose color ranges from steel-gray to nearly white. Its melting point is the highest of any metal, 3,410Â°C (6,170Â°F) and its boiling point is about 5,900Â°C (10,600Â°F). Its density is about 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. Tungsten conducts electrical current very well.
A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress, it breaks without significant deformation (strain). Brittle materials absorb relatively little energy prior to fracture, even those of high strength.Breaking is often accompanied by a snapping sound.any steels become brittle at low temperatures (see ductile-brittle transition temperature), depending on their composition and processing. When used in materials science, it is generally applied to materials that fail when there is little or no evidence of plastic deformation before failure.
