I simply do not understand what the young modulus is.
Help on properties of solids such as ductility and malleability would help!

I'm somewhat puzzled here. One know about a Searle's apparatus, but one does not understand it's function? Is this not covered in class or in one's textbook?The Dude 321 said:I am currently doing A level physics. I do not understand searle's apparatus.

Ductility is the ability of a solid material to be stretched or deformed without breaking. This property is often seen in metals such as gold and copper, which can be drawn into thin wires without breaking.
Ductility is typically measured by the percent elongation or percent reduction in cross-sectional area of a material when it is pulled to its breaking point. A higher percentage indicates a more ductile material.
Malleability is the ability of a solid material to be hammered, rolled, or pressed into thin sheets or shapes without breaking. This property is commonly found in metals such as aluminum and lead.
Malleability and ductility are both properties that describe a material's ability to deform without breaking. The main difference is that malleability refers to a material's ability to be reshaped into a different form, while ductility refers to its ability to be stretched or drawn out into a wire.
The ductility and malleability of a solid can be affected by factors such as the type of material, its composition and crystal structure, temperature, and the presence of impurities. For example, pure metals tend to be more ductile and malleable than alloys, and higher temperatures can increase their ductility and malleability.
