Spider silk is incredibly tough and is stronger by weight than steel. Quantitatively, spider silk is five times stronger than steel of the same diameter. It has been suggested that a Boeing 747 could be stopped in flight by a single pencil-width strand. Spider silk is almost as strong as Kevlar, the toughest man-made polymer. It is finer than the human hair (most threads are a few microns in diameter) and is able to keep its strength below -40°C. The toughest silk is the dragline silk from the Golden Orb-Weaving spider (Nephilia clavipes), so-calledbecause it uses silk of a golden hue to make orb webs.

∙ 15y agoI think it's 4.0 x 10^9 N/m^2 with stresses up to 1.4 x 10^9 N/m^2 (this is according to a question from College Physics textbook by Giambattista, Richardson, & Richardson 2007)

What are the applications of young's modulus in real life situations?
that Young's Modulus is a measure of how stiff a material is.
What will be the young's modulus if i use two wires both made of copper but they are different in length and diameter?
Young's modulus or modulus of elasticity is a property of the material. As in both the wires we have copper material the young's modulus will be the same. It does not get altered with length or area of cross section.
Why do liquids and gases have no Young's moduli?
Because Young's Modulus is a property of solids.Put simply if you get a section of wire and stretch it or compress it, Young's Modulus predicts the amount a wire will extend under tension or buckle under compression.You can't do this with gases and liquids so they do not have a Young's Modulus
Modulus of rigidity?
That is the shear modulus, G, related to Young elastic modulus ,E, as G = E/(2(1+u)) where u is Poisson ratio
Data for young modulus of candle wax?
The data for Young's modulus of candle wax (paraffin wax) has been previously measured to have a value of 61.4 MPa.
What is the known value of Young Modulus for Spider silk?
The Young's modulus of spider silk is 1 E10 Newton's per square meter. Comparatively, the modulus of high tensile steel is only 2 E11 Newton's per square meter.
Is young's modulus storage modulus?
The Young modulus and storage modulus measure two different things and use different formulas. A storage modulus measures the stored energy in a vibrating elastic material. The Young modulus measures the stress to in still elastic, and it is an elastic modulus.
What is the modulus of elasticity in stretched wire?
Young's modulus
What is the formula of young's modulus?
[Young's Modulus] = M1L-1T-2 __> this is the dimensional formula
Is tensile modulus the same as young's modulus?
Yes, indeed. Sometimes tensile modulus is different from flexural modulus, especially for composites. But tensile modulus and elastic modulus and Young's modulus are equivalent terms.
What is the dimensional formula of young's modulus?
[Young's Modulus] = M1L-1T-2 __> this is the dimensional formula
What is the coefficient of a materials elasticity?
Young's modulus
How are spider silk and steel alike?
It is said that spider silk has the strength of steel.
What is the golden silk spider's phylum?
Arthropoda is the phylum of the Golden Silk Spider.
What are the applications of young's modulus in real life situations?
that Young's Modulus is a measure of how stiff a material is.
Where is the place where you can trade your spider silk in for money pixie hollow?
Spider silk IS money
How we can know young's modulus?
Young's modulus is empirically derived, therefore you will have to look it up. Try a CRC manual.
