Steel is more elastic than rubber because it – (1) requires larger deforming force (2) Is never deformed (3) is deformed very easily (4) is harder than rubber
(3) is deformed very easily Explanation: Elasticity is the capability of an object to return to its former shape once a load inducing strain is removed. Young Modulus or elastic modulus [tendency to be deformed elastically (i.e., nonpermanently) when a force is applied to it] of steel is more than that of rubber.
