SECTION - C
Assertion - Reason Type Questions
1. A : Hooke’s law is obeyed only for small values of strain.

R : The deformation beyond elastic limit is called plasticity.
Sol. Answer (2)
Statement (A) is true
Statement (R) is also true
But (R) is not the correct explaination of (A)
Because correct reason is Hooke's law is obeyed in elastic limit only.
2. A : Strain is a dimensionless quantity.

R : Strain is internal force per unit area of a body.
Sol. Answer (3)
(A) Is true
L
Strain =
L
(R) Is false because strain is change in dimension by original dimension.
3. A : Diamond is more elastic than rubber.

R : When same deforming force is applied diamond deforms less than rubber.
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because modulus of elasticity is more for diamond so less deformation in diamond than rubber
when same deforming force applied
(R) Is true and correct explanation.
4. A : Bulk modulus for a perfectly plastic body is zero.
R : For perfect plastic material, there is no restoring force.
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because a perfectly plastic body cannot regain its shape even when the deforming forces are
removed because restoring forces are absent
(R) Is true and correct explanation for (A)
5. A : The railway bridges are declared unfit after their use for a long period.
R : Due to repeated strain the elasticity of material decreases.
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because after a long use the material weakens and shows dangerous deformation when load is
applied because its elasticity has decreased gradually over the time.
6. A : Spring balances show wrong readings after they have been used for a long time.
R : Spring in spring balance temporary losses elasticity due to repeated alternating deforming force.
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because after a long use elasticity decreases and small temporary deformation remains these
which in turn tend to be the reason of wrong readings.
7. A : Modulus of elasticity is independent of dimensions of the body.
R : Modulus of elasticity depends on the material of the body.
Sol. Answer (2)
(A) True because modulus of elasticity is a material property
(R) True
But (R) is not the correct explanation because no where it reasons why modulus of elasticity is
independent of dimensions of the body.
8. A : Adiabatic elasticity of a gas is greater than isothermal elasticity.
Eadiabatic
R: .
Eisothermal
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) True
Eadiabatic
Because   and  always greater than 1
Eisothermal
So Eadiabatic is always greater than Eisothermal
(R) True and also correct explanation.
9. A : When a beam is bent only tensile strain is produced.
R : The depression produced in a rectangular beam is directly proportional to its width.
Sol. Answer (4)
(A) Is false because strain is there so stress will also be present
∵ Stress  strain
1
(R) False depression 
width
10. A : To minimise the depression in a beam, it is designed as ‘I’ shape girder.
R : The ‘I’ shape girders have large load bearing surface, which decreases the stress.
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because having more surface area means less force per unit area i.e. less stress
(R) Is true and correct explanation of (A)
11. A : Iron is more elastic than copper.
R : Under a given deforming force, Iron is deformed less than copper.
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because less deformation under a similar deforming force means more elasticity
12. A : Lateral strain is directly proportional to the longitudinal strain within the elastic limit.
R : Poisson’s ratio for a given material at a constant temperature is constant.
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because,
Lateral strain

Longitudinal strain
 Lateral strain  longitudinal strain
As  is constant
13. A : Equal amount of work is done when two identical springs of steel and copper are equally stretched.
R : Both springs have same spring constant.
Sol. Answer (4)
(A) Is wrong because amount of work done is not same because the spring constants are different.
(R) Is wrong.
14. A : Increase in temperature of a substance decreases the modulus of elasticity.
R : With increase in temperature, interatomic separation increases..
Sol. Answer (1)
(A) Is true because when we increase the temperature the average distance between the molecules tend to
increase hence decreasing the modulus of elasticity.
(R) Is true and correct explanation.
15. A : It is the breaking stress and not the breaking strength which depends on the material.
Breaking stress
R : Breaking strength = .
Area
Sol. Answer (4)
(A) Is wrong both depend on the material because breaking strength is maximum stress a body can take
(R) Is wrong
Breaking strength = breaking stress × area
