Young's Modulus

Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Young's Modulus is an essential tool for understanding Young's Modulus in quantitative terms. Calculate E = (F/A) / (ΔL/L0).

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = stress ÷ strain
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
stress Stress (σ) Pa
strain Strain (ε)

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Stress (σ) = 60 Pa
  • Strain (ε) = 60

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = 60 ÷ 60
