Practice question
Question
What does the steepness of the linear portion of a stress-strain curve typically indicate about a material?
Explanation
The steepness of the linear portion of the stress-strain curve indicates a higher Young’s modulus, meaning the material is stiffer and requires more stress to produce a given strain. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Higher Young’s modulus. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
