Is There A Relationship Between Young's Modulus And Spring Constant?

$

We know that the Young's modulus of an object is defined as the ratio between its stress and strain:

Y = σ/ε

, or:

Y = F*L/A*ΔL

We also know that Hooke's law, which can be applied to any linear elastic object, can find spring constant:

F = k*x

, rearranged:

k = F/x

But is there a relationship between the Young's modulus and the spring constant of an object? Is there a formula that shows this relationship?

Thank you.
