  • volumetric

  • shear

  • longitudinal and shear

  • longitudinal

The load versus elongation graph for four wires of the same materials is shown in the figure. The thinnest wire is represented by the line

                      

  • OC

  • OD

  • OA

  • OB


C.

OA

Stress ∝ Strain

FA = Y ll

 Δl = elongation

  F = load, Y = Young's modulus

  A = area and l = length of wire

  F ∝ r2 (radius of wire)

l  1r2

∴ Thin wire maximum elongation with minimum load graph is OA.
