A graph is shown between stress and strain for a metal. The part in which Hooke's law holds good is
$OA$
$AB$
$BC$
$CD$
The stress versus strain graphs for wires of two materials $A$ and $B$ are as shown in the figure. If ${Y_A}$ and ${Y_B}$ are the Young ‘s modulii of the materials, then
The diagram shows a force-extension graph for a rubber band. Consider the following statements
$I.$ It will be easier to compress this rubber than expand it
$II.$ Rubber does not return to its original length after it is stretched
$III.$ The rubber band will get heated if it is stretched and released
Which of these can be deduced from the graph
The adjacent graph shows the extension $(\Delta l)$ of a wire of length $1\, m$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end and with a load $W$ connected to the other end. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$, calculate the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire.
The load versus elongation graph for four wires of the same material is shown in the figure. The thickest wire is represented by the line
The diagram shows the change $x$ in the length of a thin uniform wire caused by the application of stress $F$ at two different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. The variations shown suggest that
