1. For beam stress, are moment of inertia and bending moment, are they same thing?
2. Modulus of elasticity and section modulus, are they same thing?

Modulus of elasticity has the same units as stress, but they are very different things.
despite what you might learn for this post, please go back to the books and refresh.
