Question

There is a point at which all springs and rubber bands will snap or break. What do we call this point?

Answer 1

elastic limit.

Answer 2

The point at which all springs and rubber bands will snap or break is called the breaking point or the maximum elastic limit. This is the point beyond which a material can no longer return to its original shape or size, even after the force that caused the deformation is removed. At this point, the material has exceeded its elastic limit and has undergone permanent deformation or failure.
