The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following do not have a unit—stress, strain, or Young's modulus—we can analyze each term step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Stress - **Definition**: Stress is defined as the force applied per unit area. - **Formula**: Stress = Force / Area - **Units**: - Force is measured in Newtons (N). - Area is measured in square meters (m²). - **Calculation**: Therefore, the unit of stress is: \[ \text{Unit of Stress} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{N}{m^2} = \text{Pascal (Pa)} \] - **Conclusion**: Stress has a unit. ### Step 2: Understanding Strain - **Definition**: Strain is defined as the change in length divided by the original length. - **Formula**: Strain = Change in Length / Original Length - **Units**: - Both change in length and original length are measured in meters (m) or centimeters (cm). - **Calculation**: Therefore, strain is a ratio of two lengths: \[ \text{Unit of Strain} = \frac{\text{Length}}{\text{Length}} = \text{unitless} \] - **Conclusion**: Strain does not have a unit. ### Step 3: Understanding Young's Modulus - **Definition**: Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. - **Formula**: Young's Modulus = Stress / Strain - **Units**: - Stress has units of Pascal (Pa) or N/m². - Strain is unitless. - **Calculation**: Therefore, the unit of Young's modulus is: \[ \text{Unit of Young's Modulus} = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{N/m^2}{\text{unitless}} = N/m^2 = \text{Pascal (Pa)} \] - **Conclusion**: Young's modulus has a unit. ### Final Conclusion Among stress, strain, and Young's modulus: - **Stress**: Has a unit (Pascal). - **Strain**: Does not have a unit (unitless). - **Young's Modulus**: Has a unit (Pascal). Thus, the answer to the question is that **strain does not have a unit**.
