    Introduction Elasticity is a fundamental concept in physics that describes how a material returns to its original form after being deformed by an external force. This property is crucial in a wide range of fields, including engineering, materials science, and earth science. Hooke’s Law Hooke’s Law is the basic principle behind elasticity, and it states…

    Introduction Young’s modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a measure of the stiffness of a solid material. Named after the British scientist Thomas Young, it quantifies the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material. Defining Young’s Modulus Young’s modulus is defined as the ratio of…
