According to Hooke's law of elasticity, if stress is increaed, the ratio of stress to strain

A

increases

B

decreases

C

becomes zero

D

remains constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The ratio of stress to strain is contant for material of the given body and is called modulus of elasticity `E`. Thus,
`Y=(stress)/(strai n)=constant`
It depends only on nature of material. Hence if stress is increased, then the ratio of stress to strain remains constant.

According to Hooke's law, within the elastic limit stress/strain = constant. This constant depends on the type of strain or the type of force acting. Tensile stress might result in compressional or elongative strain, however, a tangential stress can only cause a shearing strain. After crossing the elastic limit, the material undergoes elongation and beyond a stage beaks. All modulus of elasticity are basically constants for the materials under stress. If stress/strain is x in elastic region and y in the region of yield, then
