The general definition of elastic modulus is
-
A.
(frac{stress}{strain}) -
B.
(frac{strain}{stress}) -
C.
(stress times strain) -
D.
(sqrt{frac{stress}{strain}})
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
Elastic modulus is the ratio of pressure (stress) applied to a body to the resistance (strain) produced by the body.
= (frac{stress}{strain})
