Open in App
Solution

  1. The greatest known modulus of elasticity (Young's modulus) is found in diamonds. Its elastic modulus is around 1210GPa.
  2. The elasticity of a material is determined by its modulus of elasticity, commonly referred to as elastic modulus or simply modulus.
  3. A material's resistance to elastic, or non-permanent, deformation is measured by its elastic modulus.
  4. Modules of elasticity λ is formulated as: λ=stressstrain.
