The Young’s modulus for steel is much more than that for rubber. For the same longitudinal strain, which one will have greater tensile stress?

Young’s modulus (Y) is defined as the ratio of tensile or longitudinal stress to tensile or longitudinal strain.


According to question Ysteel > Yrubber but both have same longitudinal strain.
