(b) $S^{2} Y / 2$
(c) $S^{2} / 2 Y$
(d) $S / 2 Y$

Show Answer
Solution:
- (c) Energy stored per unit volume
$=\frac{1}{2} \times$ stress $\times$ strain
$=\frac{1}{2} \times$ stress $\times($ stress $/$ Young’s modulus $)$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times(\text{ stress })^{2} /($ Young’s modulus $)=\frac{S^{2}}{2 Y}$
