Question

The modulus of elasticity is dimensionally equivalent to

• A. Stress
• B. Surface tension
• C. Strain
• D. Coefficient of viscosity

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Hookes law establishes the relationship between stress and strain Stress: The force per unit area Strain: The elongation or contraction per unit length (dimensionless) The ratio of stress to strain is known as the elastic modulus of the material Hookes law establishes the relationship between stress and strain Stress: The force per unit area Strain: The elongation or contraction per unit length (dimensionless) The ratio of stress to strain is known as the elastic modulus of the material Elastic Modulus $=\frac{\text { stress }}{\text { strain }}$ Hence, the modulus of elasticity is dimensionally equivalent to the stress Elastic Modulus $=\frac{\text { stress }}{\text { strain }}$ Hence, the modulus of elasticity is dimensionally equivalent to the stress
