The unit of young's modulus is the same as that of

  1. stress
  2. strain
  3. Moment of inertia
  4. None of the above 

Answer- A- Stress

The unit of young's modulus is the same as that of stress.

Explanation-

According to Hooke’s law:

Stress ∝ Strain

σ ∝ ϵ

σ = Eϵ

where E = Young’s modulus of elasticity.

The unit of young modulus is the same as that of stress (σ) since strain (ϵ) is non – dimensional. Thus, E can be expressed in MPa, GPa N/mm2, N/m2, Pa, etc.
