    Solution

    The Young's Modulus of a material is a fundamental property of every material that cannot be changed.  It is dependent upon temperature and pressure however. The Young's Modulus (or Elastic Modulus) is in essence the stiffness of a material.  In other words, it is how easily it is bended or stretched.
