Question
The stress - strain graphs for two materials are shown in (assume same scale).

  1. Material (ii) is more elastic than material (i) and hence material (ii) is more brittle.
  2. Material (i) and (ii) have the same elasticity and the same brittleness.
  3. Material (ii) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (i).
  4. Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i).

Answer

  1. Material (ii) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (i).
  2. Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i).

Explanation:

On comparing ultimate tensile strength of the materials, (ii) is greater than (i). Hence, material (ii) is elastic over larger region as compare to (i) so the material (ii) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (i) (verifies option c).

As the fracture point of material (ii) is nearer than (i), hence the material (ii) is more brittle than material (i).

Two particles, one at the centre of a circle of radius $R$, and another at a point $Q$ on the circle, start moving towards a point $P$ on the circle at the same time (see figure below). Both are at rest initially and move with uniform velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\overrightarrow{V_2}$ respectively. They also reach the point $P$ at the same time, If the angle between the velocities is $\theta$ and the angle subtended by $P$ and $Q$ at the centre is $\phi$ (as shown in the figure), then
