L6 link to Searle's Apparatus Young's Modulus film

The link to the film of the experiment is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UMUqsINvxU . It's a great film but note 1. Health and Safety issue at 3 min 45 seconds 2. You would need to explain how to get Young's Modulus from the graph she describes.

It was Young's Modulus when I was at school. It seems to have become the Young Modulus now. I'm guessing because it is named in honour of Thomas Young but that he didn't invent it, hence the change.
