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

A

Volumetric

B

Shear

C

Longitudinal and shear

D

Longitudinal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Consider the diagram where a spring is stretched by applying a load to its free end. Clearly the length and shape of the spring changes. The changes in length correspond to longitudinal strain and change in shape corresponds to shearing strain
