An elastic material with Young's modulus 'Y' is subjected to a tensile stress ' \(\mathrm{S}\) '. The elastic energy stored per unit volume of the material will be

  1. A \(\frac{s^{2}}{Y}\)
  2. B \(\frac{S^2}{2Y}\)
  3. C \(\frac{Y S}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{S}{2 Y}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{S^2}{2Y}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( U = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{stress} \times \text{strain} \) \( \text{strain} = \frac{\text{stress}}{Y} \)
