Applications of Dimensional Analysis

If speed (V), acceleration (A) and force (F) are considered as fundamental units, the dimension of Young's modulus will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Young's modulus YY = force/area: Y=F/L2Y = F/L^2.
  2. Length in terms of speed and acceleration: L=V2/AL = V^2/A, so L2=V4A−2L^2 = V^4A^{-2}.
  3. Y=FV−4A2Y = F V^{-4} A^2.
  4. So the answer is (c) V−4A2FV^{-4}A^2F.
