Detailed Solution
The unit of Young's modulus is N/m2. This suggests that it has dimensions of Force ( distance )2 Thus, [Y]=[F]L2=MLT−2L2=ML−1T−2⋅N/m2 is in SI units. So, 1N/m2=(1kg)(1m)−1(1s)−2 and 1dyne/cm2=(1g)(1cm)−1(1s)−2 so, 1N/m21dyne/cm2=1kg1g1m1cm−11s1s−2=1000×1100×1=10 or 1N/m2=10dyne/cm2 or 19×1010N/m2=19×1011 dyne /cm2
