alleryStart learning →A material with a very large elastic modulus deforms under a given stress by:
AAn endless amount
BA small amount
CA large amount
DAn equal amount
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A small amount
1. Modulus measures resistance to deformation.
2. A large value means the material barely yields.
3. So it deforms a small amount.
