Which one of the following quantities does not have unit?
- AStress
- BForce
- CStrain
- DPressure
- ENone of the above / More than one of the above
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.
