Vedclass · Answer

(D) Energy density is defined as energy per unit volume: $U = \frac{	ext{Energy}}{	ext{Volume}}$.The dimensional formula for Energy is $[ML^2T^{-2}]$ and for Volume is $[L^3]$.Thus,the dimensional formula for Energy Density is $\frac{[ML^2T^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$.Pressure is defined as force per unit area: $P = \frac{F}{A}$. Its dimensions are $\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$.Stress is defined as restoring force per unit area: $\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$. Its dimensions are $[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$.Young's modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of stress to strain: $Y = \frac{	ext{Stress}}{	ext{Strain}}$. Since strain is dimensionless,the dimensions of $Y$ are the same as stress,which is $[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$.Since all the given quantities have the same dimensional formula $[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$,the correct option is $D$.
