Within elastic limit, slope of the graph...

Within elastic limit, slope of the graph of bulk strain against bulk stress gives the

A

Poisson's ratio

B

Compressibility

C

Extension or compression

D

Modulus of elasticity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`K = (V dP)/(dV)`
`:. C = (1)/(B) = (dV)/(VdP) = (dV)/((V)/(dP)) = ("Bulk strain")/("Bulk stress")`
`:.` The graph of bulk strain against bulk stress gives the compressiblity.

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.
