What is the meaning of the given statement?
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The information about the material, which would undergo less deformation on the application of stress without breaking the material.
Explanation of Solution
The Young’s modulus of the any material is nothing but the ratio of linear stress applied to the material to the linear strain. The value of Young’s modulus would have different value depends on the type of the molecules with which the material would made to.
Here, in this case the diamond would have large value of Young’s modulus than that of glass. This would never reveal which is stronger, rather, it would give the information about which material would undergo less deformation on the application of stress that would not break the material.
