Physics Question on elastic moduli

The value of tan(90θ)\tan (90-\theta) in the graph gives :

A

Young's modulus of elasticity

B

compressibility

C

shear strain

D

tensile strength

Answer

Young's modulus of elasticity

Explanation

Solution

tan(90θ)=cotθ= Stress  Strain =Y\tan (90-\theta)=\cot \theta=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}= Y
