Correct Answer - Option 1 :
stress ∝ strain
CONCEPT:
-
Hooke's Law: For small deformations, the stress is proportional to the strain produced.
Stress ∝ strain
stress = k × strain
where k is the proportionality constant.
EXPLANATION:
- According to Hooke's law stress is directly proportional to strain.
Stress ∝ strain
- So the correct answer is option 1.
