CONCEPT:

  • Elastomers: The substances that can be stretched to cause large strains are called elastomers.
    • Examples are the tissue of the aorta, rubber, etc.
  • These materials do not obey Hooke’s law over most of the region.
  • A typical stress-strain graph of an elastomer is given below:

F1 Jitendra.K 27-04-21 Savita D1

Here we can clearly see that curve is not linear. To follow Hooke's law it is necessary that the curve should be in straight line.

EXPLANATION:

  • Option 1: Plastic materials are the materials which when deformed does not return to their original state or show permanent deformation.
  • Option 2: Elastic materials are the material which after deformation can regain their original shape and size.
  • Option 3: The materials that can be stretched to cause large strains are called elastomers.
  • So the correct answer is option 3.
