Physics Elasticity Question 118

Question: In steel, the Young’s modulus and the strain at the breaking point are $ 2\times 10^{11},N{{m}^{-2}} $ and 0.15 respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is therefore

[MP PET 1990; MP PMT 1992; DPMT 2001]

Options:

A) $ 1.33\times 10^{11},N{{m}^{-2}} $

B) $ 1.33\times 10^{12},N{{m}^{-2}} $

C) $ 7.5\times {{10}^{-13}},N{{m}^{-2}} $

D) $ 3\times 10^{10},N{{m}^{-2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Breaking stress = strain × Young’s modulus $ =0.15\times 2{{\times }^{11}}=3\times 10^{10}\ N{{m}^{-2}} $
