NEET Physics Stress & Strain MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about hydraulic stress and volume strain is correct?

A

Hydraulic stress is equal to the applied hydraulic pressure, and volume strain is the ratio of change in volume to the original volume.

B

Hydraulic stress is always negative, while volume strain must be positive.

C

Volume strain has a unit of pressure, while hydraulic stress is dimensionless.

D

Hydraulic stress only occurs in solids and not in fluids when under pressure.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Hydraulic stress is defined as the internal restoring force per unit area, equal to the hydraulic pressure, and volume strain is the ratio of change in volume (∆V) to the original volume (V), which confirms option A as correct.
