The stress verses strain graph of four metals A,B,C and D are as shown. Which of the graph represent the metal having greatest Young's modulus?


  1. A Graph OD
  2. B Graph OC
  3. C Graph OB
  4. D Graph OA
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Graph OA

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Young's modulus \(Y\) of a material is defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic limit, which corresponds to the slope of the stress-strain graph. \(Y = \dfrac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} = \tan(\theta)\) where \(\theta\) is the angle that the…
