The slope of force to displacement graph is
Correct answer: C. Spring constant
- A. Density
- B. Energy
- C. Spring constant
- D. All options are correct
Explanation
The slope of a force versus displacement graph represents the spring constant, denoted by 'k' in Hooke's Law (F = kx). This relationship shows that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring. The spring constant 'k' is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. Option A, Density, is incorrect because density is unrelated to this context. Option B, Energy, is incorrect because energy is not represented by the slope of this graph. Option D, All, is incorrect because only the spring constant is related to the slope of the graph.

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.
