Great question. Young's modulus is a material/intrinsic property of the material and is constant regardless of the change in dimension of the test specimen. Y = Stress/ Strain = F*L/A*dl Assume if you change the L to L/2 and r to r/2 i.e A to A/4 and Force required to get the same extension is also F/2,...

Great question. Young's modulus is a material/intrinsic property of the material and is constant regardless of the change in dimension of the test specimen.

Y = Stress/ Strain = F*L/A*dl

Assume if you change the L to L/2 and r to r/2 i.e A to A/4 and Force required to get the same extension is also F/2, above equation becomes

Y = 4*F*L/4*A*dl = F*L/A*dl ( Same as above)

Happy learning!!!

What is the Young's modulus for a perfect rigid body?

we know that young modulus =Stress/strain and A rigid body is defined as one manifesting zero strain regardless of applied stress so Y=stress/0 Y= infinite (because any number devived by zero is infinite, 1/0= infinite)
