Abstract
Each material that we come in contact with has its own special properties. Some are hard while others are soft. Some things are heavy and others are light. Some materials feel warm while others feel cold. These subjective properties are related to the intrinsic physical properties of material which can be defined and measured on an appropriate scale. Some of these properties are listed in Table 1–1.
