8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
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 modulus of the materials, then
A
$Y_B = 2Y_A$
B
$Y_A = Y_B$
C
$Y_B = 3Y_A$
D
$Y_A = 3Y_B$
Solution
$\frac{{{Y_A}}}{{{Y_B}}} = \frac{{\tan \,{\theta _A}}}{{\tan \,{\theta _B}}} = \frac{{\tan \,{{30}^o}}}{{\tan \,{{60}^o}}} = \frac{{1/\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow {Y_B} = 3{Y_A}$
