Question

The value of modulus of elasticity for steel is -

• A. $$2 \times 10^5$ kgf/cm²$
• B. $$2 \times 10^6$ kgf/cm²$
• C. $$1 \times 10^6$ kgf/cm²$
• D. $$0.5\times 10^6$ kgf/cm²$

Answer 1

Answer:

$$2 \times 10^6$ kgf/cm²$

Modulus of elasticity is the stress required to produce unit strain. For steel, Esteel $= 2 \times 10^6$ kgf/cm²
