One mathematical equation used to calculate this quantity takes the applied force on an object and divides it by an expression containing values for the diameter of the indenter and that of the indentation.
One mathematical equation used to calculate this quantity takes the applied force on an object and divides it by an expression containing values for the diameter of the indenter and that of the indentation. That equation gives the Brinell version of this quantity, which is used as an alternative to the Vickers Test. The scratch form of this quantity is usually measured with a sclerometer. For a material to produce a color on a streak plate, it must have a lower value of this quantity than the plate. One construct that measures this quantity places apatite in the middle, then increases with orthoclase feldspar, then quartz, then topaz, then conundrum, then diamond. For 10 points, name this property that is measured by using the Mohs scale.
