Q48 · Physics
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) is false but (R) is true
- 2Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- 3Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- 4(A) is true but (R) is falseOfficial answer
Official answer: option 4 · NTA final answer key
