The relationship between the linear elastic properties Young's Modulus (E), rigidity modulus (G) and Bulk modulus (K) is given by
- A. 9/E = 3/K + 1/G
- B. 1/E = 9/K + 3/G
- C. 3/E = 9/K + 1/G
- D. 9/E = 1/K + 3/G
Answer: D. 9/E = 1/K + 3/G
Explanation: We know E = (9KG) / (3K + G). Inverting gives 9/E = (3K + G) / KG = 3/G + 1/K.
