The ratio of applied stress to volumetric strain is called:
Correct answer: A. Bulk Modulus
- A. Bulk Modulus
- B. Shear Modulus
- C. Tensile modulus
- D. Young's Modulus
Explanation
Within the elastic limit, the ratio of volumetric stress to the corresponding volumetric strain in a body is always constant, which is called the bulk modulus of elasticity. In simpler words, the bulk modulus is nothing but a numerical constant that is used to measure and describe the elastic properties of a solid or fluid when pressure is applied to all the surfaces.

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.
