Within the elastic limits the ratio between the longitudinal stress and longitudinal stain is Young's Modulus.
Young's Modulus Y = Longitudinal Stress/Longitudinal Strain
Longitudinal stress = Force/Area and
Longitudinal strain = Change in length/Original length
Thus unit of Y is Pascal(Pa) or Nm–2
