Every value links to the document that states it. "Not sourced" means no citable source states it (or only a specification minimum); figures computed from it are left out too.
Questions Is Copper C110 stronger than Drywall? Copper C110 is stronger: its yield strength is 69 MPa against tensile strength 1.5 MPa for Drywall (46x).
Which is stiffer, Copper C110 or Drywall? Copper C110 is stiffer: Young's modulus 117 GPa against 1.5 GPa for Drywall, so the same part in Copper C110 deflects less under the same load.
Which expands less with temperature? Drywall expands less: 16.7 µm/m·K against 16.9 µm/m·K for Copper C110.
