The ratio of stress to strain according to Hooke's law is Correct Answer constant

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. constant

CONCEPT:

  • Hooke's law: Hooke’s law states that the strain of a material is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material.

The stress vs strain graph for a solid material is as shown

  • The limit of proportionality is the point up to which a material obeys Hooke's law i.e. the stress will be proportional to strain.
  • The ratio of stress by strain is called the modulus of elasticity.
  • Elastic limit is the point beyond which if an object is stressed, it will not regain its original shape.
  • The yield point is that point beyond which the object snaps.

EXPLANATION:

  • According to Hooke’s law strain of a material is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material. 
  • Therefore, the ratio of stress to strain is constant within the limits of Hooke's law.
