NEET Physics Elastic Behavior MCQ Question
Consider a stress-strain graph for a material where the initial portion is a straight line. What does the slope of this initial linear portion represent?
Young's modulus of the material
Bulk modulus of the material
Shear modulus of the material
Elastic limit of the material
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The slope of the initial linear portion of a stress-strain graph represents Young's modulus, as it indicates the proportionality between stress and strain for small deformations according to Hooke's law.
