Mechanical Properties of Solids - Result Question 2

2. The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials X and Y. It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material X but are far apart for material Y.

We can say that materials X and Y are likely to be (respectively),

[NEET Odisha 2019]

(a) Plastic and ductile

(b) Ductile and brittle

(c) Brittle and ductile

(d) Brittle and plastic

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Fracture point and ultimate strength point is close for material X, hence X is brittle in nature and both points are far apart for material Y hence it is ductile.

(a) Wire 1: A,3F

(i)Δ=(FAY)3

Wire 2:

(ii)Δ=(F3AY)

From equation (i) & (ii),

Δ=(FAY)3=(F3AY) or, F=9F
