To show that the expression \( T = \frac{MgL}{\pi r^2 l} \) is dimensionally correct, we need to analyze the dimensions of both sides of the equation. ### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of Young's Modulus \( T \) Young's modulus \( T \) is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. - **Stress** is defined as force per unit area. The dimension of force is given by: \[ ...
