Elasticity is the property of a material that affects how easily it will return to its original shape after an external force is applied.
Elasticity is the property of a material that affects how easily it will return to its original shape after an external force is applied. An elastic material will return to its original shape when the force is removed, whereas an inelastic one will stay deformed. In an elastic material the amount of force applied is proportional to the amount of deformation produced.
