Robert Hooke discovered experimentally that within elastic limit

  • A. Stress = strain
  • B. Stress/strain = a constant
  • C. Stress x strain = 1
  • D. None of these

Answer: B. Stress/strain = a constant

Explanation: Hooke's law states stress is proportional to strain, so the ratio is constant (Young's Modulus).
