Mathematically, strain energy = _________

Power

Work done

Energy

Youngâ€™s Modulus

Correct Answer : Work done

Explanation : By the principle of work, the amount of strain energy in a body is found. When a load acts on a body there will be deformation, which causes movement of the applied load. This work is done by the applied load.
