Young's modulus of elasticity Y is expressed in terms of three derived quantities, namely, the gravitational constant G, Planck's constant h and the speed of light c, as Y=cαhβGγ. Which of the following is the correct option?
  1. α=7, β=-1, γ=2
  2. α=7, β=1, γ=2
  3. α=7, β=1, γ=2
  4. α=7, β=1, γ=2

Solution

Dimensions of Young's modulus: M1L1T 2

Dimensions of velocity of light: M0L1T1

Dimensions of Planck's constant:  M1L2 T1

Dimensions of Gravitational constant: M1L3T2

Now, as given in the question

Y=cαhβGγ

M1L1T 2=M0L1T1α M1L2 T1βM1L3T2γ

Comparing exponent of the M, L & T both sides, we get

1=β-γ  β=1+γ   ...1

-1=α+2β+3γ    ...2

 and -2=-α-β-2γ   ...3

From equation(1) and (2), we get

-1=α+21+γ+3γα+5γ=-3   ...4

From equation(1) and (3), we get

-2=-α-1+γ-2γα+3γ=1    ...5

From equation(4) and equation(5), we get

α=7, γ=2 and then β=1+γ=-1.
