    Is There A Relationship Between Young's Modulus And Spring Constant?

    We know that the Young's modulus of an object is defined as the ratio between its stress and strain: Y = σ/ε , or: Y = F*L/A*ΔL We also know that Hooke's law, which can be applied to any linear elastic object, can find spring constant: F = k*x , rearranged: k = F/x But is...
