Question

Why do engineers prefer materials with a large Young’s modulus for designing columns and beams?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Materials with a large Young’s modulus are stiffer, requiring greater force to produce small deformations, which ensures better resistance to bending and stretching. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to They provide greater stiffness. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option D is scientifically correct.
