Question

Distinguish between Young’s modulus and elastic constant

Answer 1

The coefficient of elasticity (sometimes called the Hooke coefficient, stiffness coefficient or spring stiffness, elasticity constant) is a coefficient that relates the elongation of an elastic body and the elastic force resulting from this elongation in Hooke's law.

Young's modulus (modulus of longitudinal elasticity, modulus of normal elasticity) is a physical quantity that characterizes the ability of a material to resist tension or compression during elastic deformation.
