SUMMARY
The relationship between stiffness and Young's Modulus is defined by their distinct properties: stiffness (k) quantifies an object's resistance to deformation under an applied force, calculated as k = Force applied/displacement produced. Young's Modulus, or modulus of elasticity, is an intensive property that measures the elasticity of a material. While both concepts are related, they serve different purposes in material science and engineering.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of basic mechanics and material properties
- Familiarity with the concepts of force and displacement
