Hooke's Law
 

Hooke's Law problem 14


The stress-strain graph for a glass rod, up to the point at which it breaks, is shown below.




Which statement about the glass rod is correct?


  • Hooke’s law is obeyed for all values of stress up to the breaking point.


  • The glass is ductile.


  • The glass shows plastic deformation.


  • When the cross-sectional area of the rod is doubled, the ultimate tensile stress of the rod is halved.
