Q1. With reference to figure the elastic zone is

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. With reference to figure the plastic zone is

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q3. With reference to figure the yield point corresponds to

Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q4. With reference to figure the yield strength point  corresponds to 

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Yield point is point on the curve where the body deforms with negligible amount of stress. Hence it should be B

Q5. With reference to figure the tensile stress corresponds to stress at point

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The point D on the graph is the ultimate tensile strength of the material. Beyond this point , additional strain is produced even by a reduced applied force and fracture occurs at point E. After point D thinning of wire started and finally the wire breaks. So D shows tensile strength.

Q6. Elastomers are materials
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. Young’s modulus Y is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The ratio of stress and strain is called modulus of elasticity is the characteristic of the material. they are (a) Young's modulus (b) Shear Modulus (c) Bulk modulus

Young's Modulus is denoted by Y and is given by  the ratio of tensile (or compressive) stress (σ)" role="presentation" style="display: inline; line-height: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;"> to the longitudinal strain (ε)" role="presentation" style="display: inline; line-height: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">

Y = tensile stress/longitudinal strain

Y=σ/ϵ" role="presentation" style="display: inline; line-height: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">


Q8. Shear modulus or modulus of rigidity is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9. Bulk modulus is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q10. For a rope of yield strength  loaded in tension with weight Mg the minimum area A of the rope should be
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

We know that Yield strength times the Area give the weight of the body.

As Yield strength = weight of body/area

For safety purposes

Yield strength  weight of body/area 

Sy  Mg/A

 Mg/
