The Main Idea
Young's Modulus is a macroscopic property of a material that measures how stretchy a solid material is. It is independent of size or weight, and it will change depending on the material.
A Mathematical Model
The definition of Young's Modulus can be expressed as: [math]\displaystyle{ {Y = \frac{stress}{strain}} = \frac{\frac{{F}_{T}}{A}}{\frac{{ΔL}}{L}} }[/math] where
