CBSEENPH110024928

Define modulas of elasticity and write down its Unit and Dimensions.

Solution

Modulus of elasticity = Stress / Strain, As Strain is a dimensionless quantity being a ratio between change in dimension to the original dimension, the dimensions of Modulus of Elasticity are the same as that of stress. That is kg/mm^2 are the dimensions of Modulus of Elasticity.
