The ratio of bulk strain to bulk stress is called
Correct answer: D. Compressibility
- A. Young's modulus
- B. Bulk modulus
- C. 3D
- D. Compressibility
Explanation
The correct answer is Compressibility. Compressibility is defined as the reciprocal of the bulk modulus, which means it is the ratio of bulk strain to bulk stress. In contrast, the bulk modulus is the ratio of bulk stress to bulk strain, and Young's modulus pertains to tensile stress and strain. '3D' is not applicable to this context.
