The elasticity of a solid means the tendency of it to resist deformation & return to it's original shape ie iron is more elastic than a rubber band. Weird isn't it?

Elasticity is about things that stretch and snap back, like rubber bands.


Why does a rubber band extend though it it is in solid state?

A rubber band can be stretched though it is in solid state because it approves the law of elasticity.


How many times sound travel faster in solid as compared to liquid?

It depends on the temperature, the elasticity, and the density.


What is the total revenue test for elasticity?

I assume that when you say "elasticity," you mean "price elasticity of demand."Raise price a little. If total revenue goes up, you're in the INELASTIC region (where absolute value of elasticity is greater than 1). If it goes down, you're in the ELASTIC region.

What does unitary demand mean?

Unitary is a reference to the type of demand elasticity. Unitary demand elasticity occurs when the elasticity of demand = 1. This indicates that the level of demand changes in-sync with the price at a 1:1 ratio.
