Young’s modulus of elasticity π is expressed in terms of three derived quantities, namely, the gravitational constant πΊ, Planck’s constant β and the speed of light π, as π = π πΌβ π½πΊ πΎ . Which of the following is the correct option? (A) πΌ = 7, π½ = −1, πΎ = −2 (B) πΌ = −7, π½ = −1, πΎ = −2 (C) πΌ = 7, π½ = −1, πΎ = 2 (D) πΌ = −7, π½ = 1, πΎ = −2
To determine the correct exponents
, , and in the equation , we need to perform a dimensional analysis. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
Identify the Dimensions of Each Quantity:
Young's Modulus ():
Speed of Light ():
Planck's Constant ():
Gravitational Constant ():
Set Up the Dimensional Equation:
Substituting the dimensions:
Equate the Exponents for Each Fundamental Quantity:
Mass ():
Length ():
Time ():
Solve the System of Equations:
From the mass equation:
Substitute into the time equation:
Substitute and into the length equation:
However, this leads to a contradiction, indicating a need to re-evaluate the approach.
Re-evaluating the Approach:
Let's consider the provided options and check which one satisfies the dimensional equation.Option (A): , ,
Simplifying:
This matches the dimensions of .
Option (B): , ,
Simplifying:
This does not match the dimensions of .
Option (C): , ,
Simplifying:
This does not match the dimensions of .
Option (D): , ,
Simplifying:
This does not match the dimensions of .
Conclusion:
Only Option (A) satisfies the dimensional equation for Young's modulus.
