Which of the following is the most elastic material ?
Correct answer: B. Steel
- A. Plastic
- B. Steel
- C. Glass
- D. Rubber
Explanation
Elasticity in this comparison means resistance to elastic deformation, measured by Young's modulus, not the ability to stretch greatly. Steel has a much higher modulus than rubber, plastic, or ordinary glass, so it is the most elastic.
