Correct answer: 0

  1. Identify the required quantity

We need the dimensions of:

modulus of elasticitytorque\frac{\text{modulus of elasticity}}{\text{torque}}torquemodulus of elasticity​

and it is given as:

[MaLbTc][M^aL^bT^c][MaLbTc]

with b=3b=3b=3. We must find ccc.


  1. Dimension of modulus of elasticity

Modulus of elasticity has the same dimensions as stress:

Modulus=stressstrain\text{Modulus} = \frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}}Modulus=strainstress​

Since strain is dimensionless,

[Modulus]=[Stress][\text{Modulus}] = [\text{Stress}][Modulus]=[Stress]

Now,

Stress=ForceArea\text{Stress} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}Stress=AreaForce​

Force has dimension:

[F]=[MLT−2][F] = [MLT^{-2}][F]=[MLT−2]

Area has dimension:

[L2][L^2][L2]

So,

[Modulus]=[MLT−2][L2]=[ML−1T−2][\text{Modulus}] = \frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [ML^{-1}T^{-2}][Modulus]=[L2][MLT−2]​=[ML−1T−2]


  1. Dimension of torque

Torque = force ×\times× distance

[τ]=[MLT−2]⋅[L]=[ML2T−2][\tau] = [MLT^{-2}] \cdot [L] = [ML^2T^{-2}][τ]=[MLT−2]⋅[L]=[ML2T−2]


  1. Dimension of modulus per unit torque

[modulustorque]=[ML−1T−2][ML2T−2]\left[\frac{\text{modulus}}{\text{torque}}\right] = \frac{[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]}{[ML^2T^{-2}]}[torquemodulus​]=[ML2T−2][ML−1T−2]​

Subtract powers:

  • For MMM: 1−1=01-1=01−1=0
  • For LLL: −1−2=−3-1-2=-3−1−2=−3
  • For TTT: −2−(−2)=0-2-(-2)=0−2−(−2)=0

Hence,

[modulustorque]=[M0L−3T0]\left[\frac{\text{modulus}}{\text{torque}}\right] = [M^0L^{-3}T^0][torquemodulus​]=[M0L−3T0]

So,

a=0,b=−3,c=0a=0,\quad b=-3,\quad c=0a=0,b=−3,c=0


  1. Use the given condition

The question states b=3b=3b=3, but from dimensional analysis we get b=−3b=-3b=−3.

This strongly suggests a sign typo in the question statement. Regardless, the time exponent is:

c=0c=0c=0


  1. Final answer

0\boxed{0}0​


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer = 000

Our derived answer for ccc is also 000, so the answer agrees.
