coefficient of limiting friction. If θ is angle of friction then μ = tan θ

With the help of passage given above, chose the appropriate alternative for each of following

Q.35 For small deformations within elastic limit the stress and strain are proportional to each
other. This is known as Hooke’s law. Thus, stress α strain In the region from A to B, stress
and strain are not proportional. Nevertheless, the body still returns to its original dimension
when the load is removed. The point B in the curve is known as yield point (also known as
elastic limit) and the corresponding stress is known as yield strength (σy) of the material.
If the load is increased further, the stress developed exceeds the yield strength and strain
increases rapidly even for a small change in the stress. The portion of the curve between B
and D shows this. When the load is removed, say at some point C between B and D, the
body does not regain its original dimension. In this case, even when the stress is zero, the
strain is not zero. The material is said to have a permanent set. The deformation is said to
be plastic deformation. The point D on the graph is the ultimate tensile strength (σu) of the
material. Beyond this point, additional strain is produced even by a reduced applied force
and fracture occurs at point E. If the ultimate strength and fracture points D and E are close,
the material is said to be brittle. If they are far apart, the material is said to be ductile.

(a) Above elastic limit
(b) Within elastic limit
(c) Above plastic limit
(d) None of these
