What is the most accurate statement concerning the elastic modulus?
Elastic modulus is change in length divided by the original length of a linear material (like a wire) that results from applying a tension force to the wire.
Elastic modulus is a constant of proportionality that relates stress to strain.
Elastic modulus is a unitless number that describes the elastic region for a material under pressure.
Elastic modulus is a unitless number that describes the plastic region for a material under pressure.
It is the ratio of strain divided by stress.
