To determine which pair has the same dimensions, we can analyze the dimensional formula for each quantity based on the sources:
- Work (W): Defined as force multiplied by displacement (W=F⋅d). Force has dimensions [MLT−2] and displacement is [L], so work has dimensions [ML2T−2] .
- Torque (τ): Defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation (τ=r×F). Its dimensions are [L]×[MLT−2]=[ML2T−2] .
- Angular Momentum (L): Defined as the product of position vector and linear momentum (L=r×p). Its dimensions are [L]×[MLT−1]=[ML2T−1] .
- Potential/Kinetic Energy: All forms of energy share the same dimensions as work, which is [ML2T−2] .
- Linear Momentum (p): Product of mass and velocity (p=mv), with dimensions [MLT−1] .
- Velocity (v): Displacement per unit time, with dimensions [LT−1] .
Comparing the pairs, Work and Torque both share the dimensional formula [ML2T−2], making Option B the correct choice.
