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

A
${Y_B} = 2{Y_A}$
B
${Y_A} = {Y_B}$
C
${Y_B} = 3{Y_A}$
D
${Y_A} = 3{Y_B}$
Solution
(d) $\frac{{{Y_A}}}{{{Y_B}}} = \frac{{\tan {\theta _A}}}{{\tan {\theta _B}}} = \frac{{\tan 60}}{{\tan 30}} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{{1/\sqrt 3 }} = 3 \Rightarrow {Y_A} = 3{Y_B}$
