Angular velocity (ω) is defined as the time rate of change of angular displacement (ω=dtdθ).
- Angular Displacement (θ): It is defined as the ratio of arc length to radius (θ=s/r). Being a ratio of two lengths, it is a dimensionless quantity with dimensions [M0L0T0].
- Time (t): The dimension of time is [T].
- Dimensional Formula: Substituting these into the definition:
[ω]=[t][θ]=[T][M0L0T0]=[M0L0T−1]
