Physics · Mechanical Properties of Solids
The stress-strain graphs for two materials (i) and (ii) are drawn to the same scale. The graph for material (i) has a higher initial slope and its fracture point is very close to the elastic limit. The graph for material (ii) has a lower slope but its fracture point is far beyond the elastic limit. Which statement is correct?
- 1Material (i) is stiffer and more brittle, while material (ii) is more ductile.✓
- 2Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i).
- 3Material (i) and (ii) have the same elasticity and brittleness.
- 4Material (ii) is more elastic than material (i).
Correct answer
Material (i) is stiffer and more brittle, while material (ii) is more ductile.
