Assertion : Stress is the internal force per unit area of a body.
Reason : Rubber is less elastic than steel.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of the assertion .

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion .

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Stress is the internal force per unit area of a body. If the same force is applied to the rubber and steel, then strain in rubber is more. IT measn the rubber is more elastic than steel.

The property of a body by virtue of which it tends to regain its original configuration as soon as the deforming forces applied on the body are removed is called elasticity. Coefficient of elasticity, E = (stress)/("strain") = (F//a)/(Delta l//l) = (F l)/(pi r^2(Delta l)) The value of E depends upon nature of material. A material with higher value of E is said to be more elastic. Read the above passage and answer the following question : (i) Which is more elastic steel or rubber ? Why ?
