Question

Explain what is meant by the elastic limit of a spring.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The elastic limit of a material is the furthest

point it can be stretched or deformed while

being able to return to its previous shape.

Explanation:

Once a material has gone past its elastic

limit, its deformation is said to be inelastic.

The higher the spring constant, the stiffer

the spring.

Answer 2

Elastic limit is the maximum extent to which a solid may be stretched without permanent alteration of size or shape. Elastic limit, maximum stress or force per unit area within a solid material that can arise before the onset of permanent deformation. When stresses up to the elastic limit are removed, the material resumes its original size and shape.
