The maximum stress which a body can bear is called its
Correct answer: A. ultimate tensile strength
- A. ultimate tensile strength
- B. permanent stress
- C. elastic stress
- D. all type of stress
Explanation
The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before necking, which leads to fracture. It is an important property of materials, especially in engineering and material sciences, as it indicates the maximum load that a material can bear under tension

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
