Which of the following is dimensionless quantity?
Show Hint
Strain = Change in dimension/Original Dimension. The dimensional formula is [M0 L0 T0].
- Strain
- Stress
- Quantity of heat
- Specific heat
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The dimensionless quantity is Strain.
Strain is defined as the measure of the extent of deformation of an object due to an external force. Strain helps determine the change in the dimension being measured or the relative change of length/area/volume. The strain is expressed as, \(\frac{\Delta L}{L}\) where L is the initial length and \(\Delta\)L is the change in length after deformation.
Dimension for Change in the length= [M0 L1 T0]
Dimension for Original length= [M0 L1 T0]
Therefore, the dimension of Strain = [M0 L1 T0]/ [M0 L1 T0]= [M0 L0 T0]
Thus, strain is a dimensionless quantity.

Physical World
The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:
- Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
- Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
- Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
- Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
