The ratio of linear stress to linear strain is termed as the ____________________?
Correct answer: B. Modulus of elasticity
- A. Modulus of rigidity
- B. Modulus of elasticity
- C. Bulk modulus
- D. None of these
Explanation
The ratio of normal or linear stress to the corresponding linear strain is Young’s modulus, also called the modulus of elasticity. Modulus of rigidity relates shear stress to shear strain, while bulk modulus relates pressure to volumetric strain.
