Question

Steel is more elastic compared to rubber. Show how?

✓

Answer

If steel and rubber wires of same length and thickness are taken then on suspending equal loads the increase in the length of rubber wire would be more compared to steel wire. Since the value of strain in steel is less than that of rubber. Since it is clear from the elasticity $=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}$ that when the strain is less the value of elasticity is higher. This show that steel is more elastic compared to rubber.
