medium
Which one of the following is the Young’s modulus $($in $N/m^2)$ for the wire having the stress-strain curve shown in the figure

A
$24 \times {10^{11}}$
B
$8.0 \times {10^{11}}$
C
$10 \times {10^{11}}$
D
$2.0 \times {10^{11}}$
Solution
(d) Young’s modulus is defined only in elastic region and
$Y = \frac{{{\rm{Stress}}}}{{{\rm{Strain}}}} = \,\frac{{8 \times {{10}^7}}}{{4 \times {{10}^{ – 4}}}} = 2 \times {10^{11}}\,\,N/{m^2}$
