Stress & Strain

According to Hooke's law of elasticity the ratio of stress too strain

According to Hook's law force is proportional to

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. If stress/strain is x in elastic region and y in the region of yield, then

Which arises first , strain or stress ?

Explain the terms (i) stress, (ii) strain.

Assertion Upto elastic limit of a stress-strain curve, the steel wire tends to regain its original shape when stress is removed. Reason Within elastic limit, the wire follows Hooke's law.
