NEET2019PhysicsMechanical Properties of SolidsActual
Assertion : Identical springs of steel and copper are equally stretched. More work will be done on the steel spring. Reason : Steel is more elastic than copper.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
As, work done =1 / 2 stress strain =1 / 2 Y ( strain )^2 Since elasticity of steel is more than that of copper hence more work has to be done in order to stretch the steel.
