The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of Young's modulus (Y) when velocity (V), acceleration (A), and force (F) are taken as fundamental quantities, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship Young's modulus (Y) is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. The dimensions of stress are force per unit area, and strain is a dimensionless quantity. Therefore, we need to express Young's modulus in terms of the fundamental quantities V, A, and F. ### Step 2: Write the proportionality Assume that Young's modulus (Y) can be expressed as: \[ Y \propto V^A A^B F^C \] where A, B, and C are the powers to which the fundamental quantities are raised. ### Step 3: Write the dimensions of the quantities We need to express the dimensions of Y, V, A, and F in terms of M (mass), L (length), and T (time): - The dimension of force (F) is given by \( [F] = M L T^{-2} \). - The dimension of velocity (V) is given by \( [V] = L T^{-1} \). - The dimension of acceleration (A) is given by \( [A] = L T^{-2} \). ### Step 4: Substitute the dimensions Now, substituting the dimensions into the proportionality: \[ [Y] = K [V]^A [A]^B [F]^C \] Substituting the dimensions: \[ [Y] = K (L T^{-1})^A (L T^{-2})^B (M L T^{-2})^C \] ### Step 5: Expand the dimensions Expanding the right-hand side: \[ [Y] = K L^{A + B + C} M^C T^{-A - 2B - 2C} \] ### Step 6: Set the dimensions of Young's modulus The dimension of Young's modulus is given by: \[ [Y] = M L^{-1} T^{-2} \] ### Step 7: Compare dimensions Now we can set the dimensions equal to each other: 1. For mass (M): \( C = 1 \) 2. For length (L): \( A + B + C = -1 \) 3. For time (T): \( -A - 2B - 2C = -2 \) ### Step 8: Solve the equations From the first equation, we have \( C = 1 \). Substituting \( C = 1 \) into the second equation: \[ A + B + 1 = -1 \Rightarrow A + B = -2 \] (Equation 1) Substituting \( C = 1 \) into the third equation: \[ -A - 2B - 2 = -2 \Rightarrow -A - 2B = 0 \Rightarrow A + 2B = 0 \] (Equation 2) Now, we can solve Equations 1 and 2: From Equation 2, we have \( A = -2B \). Substituting into Equation 1: \[ -2B + B = -2 \Rightarrow -B = -2 \Rightarrow B = 2 \] Now substituting \( B = 2 \) back into \( A = -2B \): \[ A = -2(2) = -4 \] ### Step 9: Final expression for Young's modulus Now we have: - \( A = -4 \) - \( B = 2 \) - \( C = 1 \) Thus, we can express Young's modulus as: \[ Y = K V^{-4} A^{2} F^{1} \] ### Conclusion The dimensions of Young's modulus (Y) when velocity (V), acceleration (A), and force (F) are taken as fundamental quantities are: \[ Y \propto V^{-4} A^{2} F^{1} \]
