where
E is the Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity)
F is the force exerted on an object under tension;
A0 is the original cross-sectional area through which the force is applied;
L is the amount by which the length of the object changes;
L0 is the original length of the object.
Find the dimensions of Youngs modulus.

Example 4
- The equation for real gases may be expressed as follows:
(P + a/V2)(V b) = nRT where P = pressure, V = volume, T = absolute
temperature, n= number of moles and R = molar gas constant.
