The image above represents young’s modulus. To calculate young’s modulus, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Stress and Strain.

The formula for calculating young’s modulus:

Young’s Modulus = ^Stress / _Strain

Let’s solve an example;
Given that the stress is 12 and the strain is 6. Find the Young’s modulus?

This implies that;

Stress = 12
Strain = 6

Young’s Modulus = ^Stress / _Strain
So, Young’s Modulus = ¹² / ₆
Young’s Modulus = 2

Therefore, the young’s modulus is 2.

Calculating the Stress when the Young’s Modulus and the Strain are Given

stress = young’s modulus x strain

Let’s solve an example;
Find the stress when the young’s modulus is 32 and the strain is 10.

This implies that;

Young’s Modulus = 32
Strain = 10

stress = young’s modulus x strain
That is, stress = 32 x 10
stress = 320

Therefore, the stress is 320.

Calculating the Strain when the Young’s Modulus and the Stress are Given

strain = ^stress / _{young’s modulus}

Let’s solve an example;
Find the strain when the young’s modulus is 20 and the stress is 40.

This implies that;

Young’s Modulus = 20
Stress = 40

So, strain = ^stress / _{young’s modulus}
strain = ⁴⁰ / ₂₀
strain = 2

Therefore, the strain is 2.
