According to Hooke’s law, within proportionality limit, stress is ______.
- Directly proportional to strain
- Inversely proportional to strain
- Equal to strain
- Constant
Answer: A – directly proportional to strain.
According to Hooke’s law, within proportionality limit stress is directly proportional to strain.
Solution:
Hooke’s law states that under direct loading, within the proportionality limit, stress is directly proportional to strain.
Stress ∝ Strain
σ = E∈
Where the constant of proportionality, E, is known as Young’s modulus of elasticity.
