Q. According to Hooke’s law of elasticity, if stress is increased, them the ratio of stress to strain
A) Becomes zero
B) Remains constant
C) Decreases
D) Increases
Explanation
(b) According the Hooke’s law modulus of elasticity E.
$= \frac{Stress}{Strain} = Constant\ $
Hence, if stress is increased, then the ratio of stress to strain remains constant.
