Answer Details
The ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain is known as the "Young’s modulus". It is a measure of the stiffness of a given material. In other words, it represents the ability of a material to resist deformation under tension or compression. Young's modulus is usually represented by the letter E and is expressed in pascals (Pa) or newtons per square meter (N/m²).
