A) becomes zero
B) remains constant
C) decreases
D) increases
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Hooke in 1679, showed experimentally that if strain is small, then the stress is proportional to strain. The ratio of stress to strain is constant for material of the given body and is called modulus of elasticity E. Thus, \[E=\frac{stress}{strain}=\text{constant}\] Hence, if stress is increased, then the ratio of stress to strain remains constant.You need to login to perform this action.
