ATensile stress
-
BCompressive stress
-
CShear stress
-
DStrain (engineering strain)
Answer
Correct Answer: Strain (engineering strain)
Explanation
DefinitionsStrain ε = ΔL / L (dimensionless), the deformation per unit length.Stress σ or τ = Force / Area (units of pressure).
Final AnswerStrain (engineering strain).
