Q102 / 120 · VITEEE 2017 · Physics

The value of $\tan \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ in the graph gives

Correct answer
A
Young's modulus of elasticity
B
compressibility
C
shear strain
D
tensile strength

Solution

$\tan \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)=\frac{\text { stress }}{\text { strain }}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
