Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Y = stress/strain, but stress = 107Nm-2 (given).
Strain = e/l0. = (10.05 - 10.00)/10.00 = 0.005
Thus Y = 107/0.005 = 2 . 0 x 109Nm-2
Y = stress/strain, but stress = 107Nm-2 (given).
Strain = e/l0. = (10.05 - 10.00)/10.00 = 0.005
Thus Y = 107/0.005 = 2 . 0 x 109Nm-2
