Abstract

In this paper, we take the iconic train scene from Spider-Man 2(2004), where Spider-Man slows
down a train that’s about to fall off the track by using his web, saving everyone inside. We use
this to estimate that the web undergoes a tensile stress of 2.9×10^8 N m^-2 and has a Young’s
modulus of 6.2×10^7 N m^-2.
