61. A material has a positive volumetric strain. What type of stress is most likely applied to the material?
- Shear stress
- Compressive stress
- Tensile stress
- No stress applied
Answer
The correct answer is: C) Tensile stress
Explanation
When a material is being tugged or stretched, tensile stress occurs in volume expansion, which is shown by a positive volumetric strain.
