(c) A spring will be better one, if a large restoring force is setup in it on being deformed, which in turm depends upon the elasticity of the material of the spring. since the Young's modulus of elastivity of steel is more than that of copper. Hence steel is prefferred in making the spring.

    A boy’s catapult is made of rubber cord which is $42\, cm$ long, with $6\, mm$ diameter of cross -section and of negligible mass. The boy keeps a stone weighing $0.02\, kg$ on it and stretches the cord by $20\, cm$ by applying a constant force. When released, the stone flies off with a velocity of $20\, ms^{-1}$. Neglect the change in the area of cross section of the cord while stretched. The Young’s modulus of rubber is closest to
