Properties of Matter question

2022 · Q167

NEETPhysicsProperties of MatterMCQ+4 / −1

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.

Reason (R) : A coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. B
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  3. C
    (A) is true but (R) is false
  4. D
    (A) is false but (R) is true
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: C

It is true that stretching of spring is determined by shear modulus of the spring as when coil spring is stretched neither its length nor its volume changes, there is only change in its shape.

Tensile strength of steel is more than that of copper.

Hence Assertion is true and Reason is false.
