Question

The work done per unit volume is:
Options
A stress x strain
B 2 x (stress x strain)
C 0.5 x (stress x strain)
Correct Answer
D 3 x (stress x strain)
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The work done per unit volume in deforming a material, which is stored as strain energy, is given by (1/2) * stress * strain for a linear elastic material.

Hint

The energy stored in an elastic material is half the product of stress and strain.
