Isn't Young's modulus and Modulus of elasticity the same thing??

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,
both moduli of elasticity and youngs modulus are the same
The modulus of elasticity (also known as the elastic modulus, the tensile modulus, or Young's modulus) is a number that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a force is applied to it.
