hard📝 Application Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze each material's properties
PLA is strong but not heat resistant or flexible; TPU is flexible but not heat resistant or very strong; Nylon is strong, heat resistant, and somewhat flexible; PVA is water-soluble and not heat resistant.Step 2: Match criteria to material
Nylon meets all three: strength, heat resistance, and slight flexibility.Final Answer:
Nylon -> Option AQuick Check:
Nylon = strong + heat resistant + flexible [OK]
Quick Trick: Nylon balances strength, heat resistance, flexibility [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Choosing PLA or TPU ignoring heat or strength
- Selecting PVA which dissolves in water
