NEET 2020 Physics Dimensional Analysis MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11

Dimensions of stress are:

A

[ML⁰T⁻²]

B

[ML⁻¹T⁻²]

C

[MLT⁻²]

D

[ML²T⁻²]

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Stress = Force / Area. Dimensions of force = [MLT⁻²], dimensions of area = [L²]. Therefore, dimensions of stress = [MLT⁻²]/[L²] = [ML⁻¹T⁻²]. The original explanation incorrectly computed the result as [ML⁰T⁻²] instead of [ML⁻¹T⁻²].
