The elastic energy stored per unit volume in terms of longitudinal strain ' \(\epsilon\) ' and Young's modulus ' \(Y\) ' is

  1. A \(\frac{Y \epsilon^2}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2} Y \in\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{Y} \in^2\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{Y} \in\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{Y \epsilon^2}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The elastic potential energy per unit volume is \(\mathrm{u}=\frac{1}{2} \times \sigma \times \varepsilon\) By Hook's law, \(\sigma=\mathrm{Y} \varepsilon\) \(\therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{Y} \varepsilon \times \varepsilon=\frac{\mathrm{Y} \varepsilon^2}{2}\)
