Solution

The graph of the stress strain curve for materials A and B are shown in the figure below,



(a)

Young’s modulus is given by the equation,

Y= stress strain

At a particular strain, Young’s modulus is directly proportional to the stress.

The stress strain curve for material A has greater stress at particular strain. Therefore, the material A has greater Young’s modulus than the material B.

(b)

The strength of the material depends upon the stress at the fracture point or the rupture point. The fracture strength of material A is more than that of B. Hence, material A is stronger.
