If velocity (v), acceleration (a) and force (F) are taken as fundamental quantities, the dimensions of Young's modulus (Y) would be |

Answer» `[Fa^(2)v^(-2)]` where K is a DIMENSIONLESS CONSTANT `:. [ML^(-1)T^(-2)]= [LT^(-1)]^(x)[LT^(-2)]^(y)[MLT^(-2)]^(z)= [M^(z)L^(x+y+z)T^(-x-2y-2z)]` EQUATING the powers of M, L and T we get z= 1, x+y+z=-1, -x-2y-2z= -2 Solving we get x= -4, y=2, z=1 `:. Y= v^(-4)a^(2)F^(1)` or `[Y]= [Fa^(2)v^(-4)]` |
