List the metals in Table from stiffest to least stiff.

The Young modulus of various materials. Many of these values depend on the precise composition of the material concerned. $\left(\text{Remenber} 1\mathrm{GPa}={10}^9\mathrm{Pa}\right)$

Which of the non-metals in Table is the stiffest?

The Young modulus of various materials. Many of these values depend on the precise composition of the material concerned.$\left(\text{Remenber} 1\mathrm{GPa}={10}^9\mathrm{Pa}\right)$

Figure shows stress- strain graphs for two materials, A and B. Use the graphs to determine the Young modulus of each material.
