Properties of Matter 1 Question 16

16. In plotting stress versus strain curves for two materials P and Q, a student by mistake puts strain on the Y-axis and stress on the X-axis as shown in the figure. Then the correct statements is/are

(2015 Adv.)

(a) P has more tensile strength than Q

(b) P is more ductile than Q

(c) P is more brittle than Q

(d) The Young’s modulus of P is more than that of Q

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 16. (a, b)

Solution:

  1. Y= stress  strain 

or Y1 strain 

(for same stress say σ )

( strain )Q<( strain )P

YQ>YP

So, P is more ductile than Q. Further, from the given figure we can also see that breaking stress of P is more than Q. So, it has more tensile strength.
