If the velocity (V), acceleration (A) and force (F) are taken as fundamental quantities instead of mass (M), length (L) and time (T), the dimensions of young's modulus (Y) would be :

Answer»

`FA^(2)V^(-4)`
`FA^(2)V^(-5)`
`FA^(2)V^(-3)`
`FA^(2)V^(-2)`

Solution :Let `Y=[V^(a)A^(b)F^(c)]`
`[ML^(-1)T^(-2)]=[LT^(-1)]^(a)[LT^(-2)]^(b)[MLT^(-2)]^(c)`
`ML^(-1)T^(-2)=M^(c )L^(a+b+c)T^(-a-2b-2c)`
`:.c=1,a+b+c=-1,-a-2b-2c=-2`
On solving, we get `a=-4,b=2` and `c=1`.
Hence the correct CHOICE is `(a)`.
