Therefore, Young’sModulus =Units of Stress / ratio = Units of Stress = kg/cm^2. So, the Units of Stress & the Units of Young’s Modulus are one & the same, namely: kg/cm^2, or kg/mm^2, Newtowns / m^2.

The Answer: Young’s Modulus = Stress /Strain,
The units of Stress = Force /Area = kg/cm^2,
The units of Strain = Change in dimension / Original dimension = A simple ratio & no units.
Therefore, Young’sModulus =Units of Stress / ratio = Units of Stress = kg/cm^2.
So, the Units of Stress & the Units of Young’s Modulus are one & the same, namely: kg/cm^2, or kg/mm^2, Newtowns / m^2.
