0.001l /L because l will be in the meter.

l in mm.
L in meters.

By MKS system, mm to be converted into the meter. Hence, strain= (l/1000L)= 0.001 l/L.

Strain = Change in length/original length.

= dl/l.

= 1mm/1m.

0.001/1.

STRAIN = CHANGE IN LENGTH / ORIGINAL LENGTH.

STRAIN = l (mm)/L (mm).

STRAIN = 10^-3 l / L.

STRAIN = 0.001 l/L.

Strain produced is tensile strain.

Strain = change in length/original length.

Because strain = extension/length before load application.
