Which pair has the same dimensions?

A

Work and power

B

Density and relative density

C

Momentum and impulse

D

Stress and strain

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which pair has the same dimensions, we analyze the dimensional formula for each quantity based on the provided text:

  1. Work and Power:
  • Work is defined as force times displacement (W=FdW = \mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{d}). Its dimensions are [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .
  • Power is defined as work done per unit time (P=W/tP = W/t). Its dimensions are [ML2T3][ML^2T^{-3}] .
  • Result: Different dimensions.
  1. Density and Relative Density:
  • Density is mass per unit volume (ho=m/V ho = m/V). Its dimensions are [ML3][ML^{-3}] .
  • Relative Density is a ratio of densities (density of substance / density of water). Being a ratio of identical quantities, it is dimensionless [M0L0T0][M^0L^0T^0] .
  • Result: Different dimensions.
  1. Momentum and Impulse:
  • Momentum (pp) is the product of mass and velocity (p=mvp = mv). Its dimensions are [MLT1][MLT^{-1}] .
  • Impulse is defined as the product of force and time duration, which equals the change in momentum (Impulse = F×t\mathbf{F} \times t). Its dimensions are [MLT1][MLT^{-1}] .
  • Result: Same dimensions.
  1. Stress and Strain:
  • Stress is the restoring force per unit area. Its dimensions are [ML1T2][ML^{-1}T^{-2}] .
  • Strain is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension (e.g., ΔL/L\Delta L / L). It is a dimensionless quantity [M0L0T0][M^0L^0T^0] .
  • Result: Different dimensions.
