Abstract
The tensile strength of liquid helium II was measured by the spinning capillary method and by a piston and cylinder method. The first method gave a tensile strength of 0.14±0.02 atmos and the second about half as much. These values are smaller than that expected from the present theories of the tensile strength of liquids.Keywords
