Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following materials would have the highest Young's modulus?
Correct Answer: Steel
  • 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 and plastic are somewhere in between steel and rubber in terms of stiffness.
  • Step 6: Conclude that steel has the highest Young's modulus among the materials listed.
