The dimensional formula for Young's modulus is

  • M L-1 T-2

  • Mo L T-2

  • M L T-2

  • M L2T-2

Solution

A.

M L-1 T-2

The formula for the Young's modulus

Y =stressstrainDimension of Y = M L-1 T-2Mo Lo To                             =M L-1T-2

Young's modulus is the ratio of stress, which has units of pressure, to strain, which is dimensionless; therefore, Young's modulus has units of pressure.
