Hooke's law of elasticity is applicable
Hooke's law of elasticity is applicable Correct Answer Within elastic unit
Correct option-3
Concept:
According to Hooke’s law,
“For small deformation, the stress in a body is proportional to the corresponding strain.”
i.e. stress ∝ strain
or stress = (E) (strain)
Here, E is a constant called the modulus of elasticity.
Now, depending upon the nature of the deforming force applied on the body, stress, strain, and
hence modulus of elasticity are classified into the following three types:
1. Young's modulus
2. Bulk modulus and
3. Modulus of rigidity
Explanation:
- Hooke's law of elasticity is only valid within the elastic limit of material because-
- Beyond the elastic limit, the material is not going to regain its original shape and size after the removal of the force.
- This applied force is called deforming force while force applied by material to restore the original size is called restoring force.

For the given stress-strain graph E is the elastic limit of a material.
Hence, option-3 is correct
