Applications of Dimensional Analysis

If speed V, area A and force F are chosen as fundamental units, then the dimension of Young’s modulus will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Young's modulus Y=stressstrain=FAY = \dfrac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} = \dfrac{F}{A} (strain is dimensionless).
  2. So [Y]=FA−1V0[Y] = FA^{-1}V^{0}.
  3. So the answer is (a).
