Given below are two statements: one is labelled as
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : Steel is used in the construction of
buildings and bridges.
Reason R : Steel is more elastic and its elastic limit
is high.
In the light of above statements, choose the most
appropriate answer from the options given below.
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : Steel is used in the construction of
buildings and bridges.
Reason R : Steel is more elastic and its elastic limit
is high.
In the light of above statements, choose the most
appropriate answer from the options given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct
explanation of A
explanation of A
Option A (Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A) is correct because steel's high elasticity and elastic limit make it suitable for building and bridge construction.

A wire is stretched under a force. If the wire suddenly snaps the temperature of the wire
The increases in length is of a wire of length by the longitudinal stress. Then the stress is proportional to
A steel wire of length and cross sectional area is stretched by under a given load. When the same load is applied to another steel wire of double its length and half of its cross section area, the amount of stretching (extension) is
Assertion: From the relation we can say that, if length of a wire is doubled, its Young's modulus of elasticity will also becomes two times.
Reason: Modulus of elasticity is a material property. A wire can be broken by applying a load of 200 N. The force required to break another wire of the same length and same material, but double in diameter, is Assertion(A): If radius of cylindrical wire is doubled, then this wire can bear four times stress.
Reason(R): By doubling the radius, area of cross-section will become four times.
