Steel is more elastic than rubber – Explain.
Elasticity is defined as the attributed property by which a body is able to
resist deformation, and recovers its original shape and size when the
deforming force is removed. Elasticity is measured by the value of modulus of
elasticity and is the ratio of stress and strain. In a steel object, the
stress developed for a very small strain under an external force is greater
than rubber. Because the intermolecular forces in steel are very strong.
So, its modulus of elasticity is greater than that of rubber. So, steel is
more elastic than rubber.
