Young’s modulus of elasticityYis expressed in terms of three derived quantities, namely, the gravitational constantG, Planck’s constanthand the speed of lightc, asY=cαhβGγ. Which of the following is the correct option?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Dimensions of Young's modulus: M1L–1T –2

Dimensions of velocity of light: M0L1T–1

Dimensions of Planck's constant:  M1L2 T–1

Dimensions of Gravitational constant: M–1L3T–2

Now, as given in the question

Y=cαhβGγ

⇒M1L–1T –2=M0L1T–1α M1L2 T–1βM–1L3T–2γ

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+3γ⇒α+5γ=-3   ...4

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

-2=-α-1+γ-2γ⇒α+3γ=1    ...5

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

α=7, γ=–2 and then β=1+γ=-1.
