1. In a material experiencing elastic deformation, stress is directly proportional to which of the following?

1. Strain
2. Shear modulus
3. Young's modulus
4. Ultimate strength

Answer

The correct answer is: A) Strain

Explanation

Essentially, Hooke's Law holds that, up to a material's elastic limit, stress is exactly equal to strain (a).
