Which concept allows a deformed body to return to its original size and shape when the deforming stress is removed?
Elasticity
Which quantity is proportional to the force causing a deformation in a body?
Stress
What property allows a substance to depart from a straight line on the stress-strain curve at its elastic limit?
Elasticity
Is it possible to change the shape and volume of a solid by applying external forces, a property known as elastic behavior?
True
The elastic modulus of a material, denoted as 'E', depends upon the elastic material and the nature of deformation.
True
The stress is inversely proportional to the strain in the generalized Hook's law.
False
It is not possible to exceed the elastic limit of a substance by applying a sufficiently great stress.
False
The stress-strain curve of a substance always remains a straight line, even at its elastic limit.
False
