The elastic modulus that applies to tensile or compressive stress is called:
AYaw's modulus
BYear's modulus
CYoung's modulus
DYield's modulus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Young's modulus
1. Three moduli are named for three kinds of stress.
2. Stretching and squashing share one of them.
3. That one is Young's modulus.
