According to Hooke's law of elasticity, if stress is increased, then the ratio of stress to strain
Options
- Abecomes zero
- Bremains constant
- Cdecreases
- Dincreases
Correct answer
B. remains constant
Step-by-step 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= stress strain = constant Hence, if stress is increased, then the ratio of stress to strain remains constant.
