A spring is stretched by applying a load to its free end. The strain produced in the spring is(a) volumetric(b) shear(c) longitudinal and shear(d) longitudinal

Answer»

(c) According to the diagram where a spring is suspended with a fixed rigid support. Now a load is attached with the lower end of that spring. So, it is stretched by applying a load to its free end. Clearly the length and shape of the spring changes and the weight of the load behaves as a deforming force.
The change in length corresponds to longitudinal strain and change in shape corresponds to shearing strain.
