Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following materials typically has the highest Young's modulus?
  • Step 1: Understand what Young's modulus is. It measures how stiff a material is.
  • Step 2: Compare the materials listed: steel, rubber, wood, and plastic.
  • Step 3: Know that steel is a very strong and stiff material.
  • Step 4: Recognize that rubber is flexible and not stiff.
  • Step 5: Understand that wood is stronger than rubber but not as stiff as steel.
  • Step 6: Realize that plastic can vary, but it is generally less stiff than steel.
  • Step 7: Conclude that among these materials, steel has the highest Young's modulus.
