Assertion: If length of a wire is halved, its Young's modulus of elasticity will become two times.
Reason: The ratio of longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain is called Young's modulus of elasticity.


Important Questions on Elasticity
Assertion: Stress and modulus of elasticity have the same dimensions.
Reason: Strain is dimensionless.

Assertion: If radius of cylindrical wire is doubled, then this wire can bear four times stress.
Reason: By doubling the radius, the area of cross-section will become four times.

Assertion: Bulk modulus of an incompressible fluid is infinite.
Reason: Density of incompressible fluid remains constant.

Assertion: If value of Young's modulus of elasticity of a material is less, then it means material is ductile.
Reason: If a material is easily stretchable, then its value of Young's modulus of elasticity should be less.

Assertion: Modulus of elasticity does depend upon the dimensions of material.
Reason: Modulus of elasticity is a material property.

Assertion: Up to the elastic limit, strain stress.
Reason: Up to the elastic limit material returns to its original shape and size, when the external force is removed.
