  1. AStress
  2. BForce
  3. CStrain
  4. DPressure
  5. ENone of the above / More than one of the above

65th BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Strain

Explanation

Strain is the ratio of change in dimension to original dimension, so it is dimensionless and has no unit.

Stress and pressure are measured in pascal (Pa), and force in newton (N).

By Hooke's law, stress is proportional to strain within the elastic limit.
