Which of the following statements is correct:
Correct answer: C. Elasticity is that property of a body that allows it to retain its original shape and dimension after the stress is removed
- A. Elasticity is that property of body which enables body to regain its original dimension
- B. Elasticity is that property of a body that does not allow it to return to its original shape
- C. Elasticity is that property of a body that allows it to retain its original shape and dimension after the stress is removed
- D. Elasticity is that property of a body that obeys Hooke's law
Explanation
Elasticity is the ability of a deformed material body to return to its original shape and size when the forces causing the deformation are removed.
