Question

Longitudinal strain is possible in ____

Answer 1

Longitudinal strain:

1. Longitudinal strain can be defined as the change in the length of an object to its original length.
2. This strain is caused due to longitudinal stress.
3. Solids have lengths that can be stretched by applying force, so they experience this longitudinal strain.
4. But the molecules in a liquid are loosely packed, so this strain cannot occur in the liquid mediums.

Hence, the longitudinal strain is possible in solids.
