A student investigates how a polymer filament stretches under different loads. They plot their results on a graph of force against extension.

Graph showing the relationship between applied force in Newtons on the y-axis and extension in millimetres on the x-axis.

Describe the non-linear behaviour of the polymer filament from its limit of proportionality (at an extension of 3.0 mm) to its breaking point.
