The ratio of volumetric strain to volumetric stress called:
Correct answer: A. compressibility
- A. compressibility
- B. young's modulus
- C. bulk's modulus
- D. shear's modulus
Explanation
Compressibility is the ratio of volumetric strain to volumetric stress. It is the inverse of bulk's modulus. Its SI unit is the pascal. Strain: A force tending to pull or stretch something to an extreme or damaging degree Stress is a quantity that describes the magnitude of the forces that cause deformation (strain).
