Tensile strain is the change in
Correct answer: A. Length
- A. Length
- B. Area
- C. Volume
- D. All of these
Explanation
Tensile strain is defined as the ratio of the change in length of a material to its original length when subjected to a tensile force. This means it specifically measures the deformation along the length of the object. Option A is correct because tensile strain directly concerns this change in length. Options B and C are incorrect because they refer to changes in area and volume, respectively, which are not directly related to tensile strain. Option D is incorrect because tensile strain is not concerned with all dimensions but only with the length.
