Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
The stress-strain graphs for two materials are shown in figure. (assume same scale)

PhysicsMechanical Properties of Solids
Options:
  • A
    Material (ii) is more elastic than material (i) and hence material (ii) is more brittle
  • B
    Material (i) and (ii) have the same elasticity and the same brittleness
  • C
    Material (ii) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (i)
  • D
    Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i)

The correct answers are:
Material (ii) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (i)
,
Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i)
It is shown from the two given graphs, on comparing the ultimate tensile strength for material (ii) is greater, hence material (ii) is elastic over larger region as compared to material (i). Sothe material (ii) the fracture point of material is nearer then $(t)$ hence it is more brittle than (i).
