We report experiments in which liquid mercury is subjected to tension by dynamic stressing, involving pulses of ca s duration, and stressing rates of approximately 1 bar . Under these conditions, the tensile strength of liquid mercury is found to be ca 2500 bar. These results are markedly lower than those obtained in experiments involving shorter pulse durations, and support the conclusion of other workers that in the dynamic stressing of liquids by tension, the higher the rate of stressing, the higher the measured value of tensile strength.
