In plotting stress versus strain curves ...

In plotting stress versus strain curves for two material P and Q, a student by mistake puts strain on the y-axis stress on ther x-axis as shown in the figure. Then the correct statement is/are

A

P has more tensile strength than Q

B

P is more ductile than Q

C

P is more brittle than Q

D

The Young’s modulus of P is more than that of Q

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
AB

`Y=("stress")/("stra in")orYprop(1)/("stra in")`
`("for same stress say" sigma)("stra in")_(Q)lt("strain")_(P)`
So, P is more ductile than Q. Further, from the given figure we can also see that breaking stress of P is more than Q. So, it has more tensile strength.
