This page discusses Young's Modulus and examples of how it is used.
Claimed by Jlafiandra6
The Main Idea
Young's Modulus is a macroscopic property of a material that measures how stretchy a solid material is. It is independent of size or weight, and it will change depending on the material.
A Mathematical Model
The definition of Young's Modulus can be expressed as: [math]\displaystyle{ {Y = \frac{stress}{strain}} = \frac{\frac{{F}_{T}}{A}}{\frac{{ΔL}}{L}} }[/math] where [math]\displaystyle{ {F}_{T} }[/math] is equal to the tension force, [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] is equal to the cross sectional area, [math]\displaystyle{ ΔL }[/math] is equal to the change in length due to the tension force, and [math]\displaystyle{ L }[/math] is equal to the new length of the material.
