Young's Modulus: Mechanical property that measures stiffness of a solid material
Young's modulus is the measure of how much force is needed to stretch or compress a substance.
Its most basic form is stress/strain. Stress is the measure of the force applied to a certain area. Strain is the amount by which the substance is deformed.
