Question

why is it easier to bend a piece of steel than to bend a piece of wood?

Open in App

Solution

It is due to youngs modulus.

Youngs modulus of steel is higher than youngs modulus of wood.

Youngs modulus of steel = 200×10^9 pa
youngs modulus of wood = 12 × 10^9 pa
Young's Modulus can be used to predict the elongation or compression of an object as long as the stress is less than the yield strength of the material.
