An engineer is designing a new glue for attaching metal objects to each other. It must be strong and permanent. The engineer plans to test the glue to evaluate the maximum force the glue can withstand before it fails.
Drag the steps into the correct order to identify a procedure for testing the adhesive using metal blocks. Start with the first step on top.
Allow the glue to dry.
Spread the glue onto a metal block.
= Press a metal mass into the glue on the metal block.
= Continue adding more and more masses until the glue fails.
Turn the metal block over to see if the glue holds both masses.
= Turn the metal block over to see if the glue holds the metal mass.
= Glue another metal mass on top of the first one and allow the glue to dry.
