A spring is stretched by applying a load to its free end. The strain produced in the spring is

volumetric

shear

longitudinal and shear

longitudinal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

The length and shape of the spring changes and the weight of the load behaves as a deforming force.
The change in length corrsponds to longitudinal strain and change in shape corresponds to shearing strain.
