3. Glass vessel cracks when hot water is poured.I will mark he or she brainiest if the answer is correct.​


Sagot :

Answer:

 local stresses may exceed the limits of the glass

Explanation:

When hot water is applied locally to a portion of a glass vessel, it causes the immediate area to expand. That expansion stresses the region around the expanding area. The stresses may exceed the limit the glass can tolerate, so cause the glass to crack.
