Hooke's LawEasyQuestion 30807

Question

Hooke's law states that within elastic limit:
  1. A
    Stress is constant
  2. B
    Strain is constant
  3. C
    Stress is proportional to strain
    Correct
  4. D
    Strain is proportional to force

Correct answer

Stress is proportional to strain

Explanation

Hooke's law: stress ∝ strain (i.e., the ratio = modulus) holds within the elastic limit.
