Question

The pair having the same dimensions is:

A

Angular momentum, work

B

Work, torque

C

Potential energy, linear momentum

D

Kinetic energy, velocity

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  1. Work (WW): Defined as force multiplied by displacement (W=FdW = F \cdot d). Force has dimensions [MLT2][MLT^{-2}] and displacement is [L][L], so work has dimensions [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .
  2. Torque (τ\tau): Defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation (τ=r×F\tau = r \times F). Its dimensions are [L]×[MLT2]=[ML2T2][L] \times [MLT^{-2}] = [ML^2T^{-2}] .
  3. Angular Momentum (LL): Defined as the product of position vector and linear momentum (L=r×pL = r \times p). Its dimensions are [L]×[MLT1]=[ML2T1][L] \times [MLT^{-1}] = [ML^2T^{-1}] .
  4. Potential/Kinetic Energy: All forms of energy share the same dimensions as work, which is [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .
  5. Linear Momentum (pp): Product of mass and velocity (p=mvp = mv), with dimensions [MLT1][MLT^{-1}] .
  6. Velocity (vv): Displacement per unit time, with dimensions [LT1][LT^{-1}] .

Comparing the pairs, Work and Torque both share the dimensional formula [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}], making Option B the correct choice.
