If area (A), density (D) and force (F) are taken as fundamental quantities, find the dimensional formula for young's modulus.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Young.s modulus `Y=A^(x)D^(y)F^(z)`
Taking dimensions `ML^(-1)T^(-2)=L^(2x)(ML^(-3))^(y)(MLT^(-2))^(z)=L^(2x-3y+z)M^(y+z)T^(-2z)`
Using the principle of homogeneity of dimensions
`-2z=-2,z=1,y+z-1,y=1-z=1-1=0`
`2x-3y+z=-1,2x=-1-z=-2,x=-1`
`Y=A^(-1)D^(0)F`.
