Which one of the following is not a tunit of Young's modulus?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Nm}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  3. C dyne \(\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\)
  4. D Mega pascal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Nm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Young's modulus, \(Y=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}\) Here, strain is a dimensionless quantity and stress is measured in SI unit of \(\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\), dyne \(\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\) or pascal. So, the Young's modulus has the same unit as stress.…
