Elastic Moduli ComparisonMediumQuestion 6334

Question

Steel is more elastic than rubber because:
  1. A
    Steel has larger strain for same stress
  2. B
    Steel has larger modulus of elasticity (returns to original shape better)
    Correct
  3. C
    Steel is denser
  4. D
    Steel has larger volume

Correct answer

Steel has larger modulus of elasticity (returns to original shape better)

Explanation

Higher E means less strain for same stress — steel is more rigid and elastic in engineering sense.
