What is the unit of strain?

What is the unit of strain? Correct Answer No unit

Strain has no unit. It is so because it is the ratio of two lengths. Strain is defines as the ratio of extended length of an object to its original length. Since both numerator and denominator have the unit of length, therefore they cancel out each other and thus strain has no unit.
