Question

Arrange in descending order based on their elastic property:-
Steel , Glass , Gold , Copper , Rubber

Answer 1

Dear Student,

If we are having a piece of each material mentioned above and apply the same tensile forces on each. Now elasticity will be E=Stress/Strain

In this case, stress will be equal because forces are equal, so elasticity will be inversely proportional to strain develops within the material and hence decreasing order of elasticity is

Steel > Copper>Gold > Rubber > Glass.
