Which one of these is more elastic, steel or rubber ? Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Steel is more elastic than rubber. If an equal stress is applied to both steel and rubber, the steel produces less strain. So the Young's modulus is higher for steel than rubber. The object which has higher young's modulus is more elastic.
