alleryTensile stress divided by longitudinal strain gives:
AYoung's modulus
BShear modulus
CBulk modulus
DPoisson's ratio
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Young's modulus
1. Each kind of stress has its own modulus.
2. Stretching stress over stretching strain is the first one.
3. That is Young's modulus, symbol Y.
