Q.

3The Stress-Strain graph for a metal wire is shown in the figure up to the
point E. The wire returns to its original state O along the curve EPO when it is
gradually unloaded. Point B corresponds to the fracture of the wire:
(i) up to what point of the curve is Hooke’s
law obeyed?
(ii) Which point on the curve corresponds
to the elastic limit or yield point of the
wire?
(iii) Indicate the elastic and plastic regions
of the Stress-Strain graph.
(iv) Describe what happens when the wire
is loaded up to a stress corresponding to the point A on the graph, and then
unloaded gradually. In particular, explain, the dotted curve.
(v) What is peculiar about the portion of the Stress-Strain graph from C to B ?
up to what stress can the wire be subjected without causing fracture?
