NEETPhysicsMechanical Properties of Solids
Consider the following about stress-strain curve: (i) Proportional limit is the point up to which stress ( ) strain. (ii) Elastic limit is the maximum stress a material can bear without permanent deformation. (iii) Yield point is the stress level where material begins to deform plastically. (iv) Ultimate stress is the minimum stress required to break the material. Which are correct?
Options
- A(i), (ii), (iii) only
- B(ii), (iii), (iv) only
- C(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)
- D(i) and (ii) only
Correct answer
A. (i), (ii), (iii) only
Step-by-step solution
Statement (iv) is wrong ( ) breaking stress is the maximum stress material can withstand before breaking, not minimum.
