The correct Answer is:
To determine which pair of quantities has the same dimensions, we will analyze each pair provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first pair: Young's Modulus and Energy** - **Young's Modulus (Y)**: - Defined as \( Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} \) - Stress is defined as \( \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} \) and Strain is a dimensionless quantity. - Therefore, \( Y = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \). - **Energy (E)**: - Energy is defined as \( E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \). - Here, \( m \) is mass (M) and \( v^2 \) is \( (L/T)^2 = L^2T^{-2} \). - Therefore, \( E = M \cdot L^2T^{-2} = ML^2T^{-2} \). - **Conclusion**: The dimensions of Young's Modulus \( (ML^{-1}T^{-2}) \) and Energy \( (ML^2T^{-2}) \) are not the same. 2. **Identify the second pair: Impulse and Surface Tension** - **Impulse (J)**: - Defined as \( J = \Delta p = F \cdot \Delta t \). - Force \( F = MLT^{-2} \) and time \( \Delta t = T \). - Therefore, \( J = MLT^{-2} \cdot T = MLT^{-1} \). - **Surface Tension (σ)**: - Defined as \( \sigma = \frac{F}{L} \). - Force \( F = MLT^{-2} \) and length \( L \). - Therefore, \( \sigma = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L} = MT^{-2} \). - **Conclusion**: The dimensions of Impulse \( (MLT^{-1}) \) and Surface Tension \( (MT^{-2}) \) are not the same. 3. **Identify the third pair: Angular Momentum and Work** - **Angular Momentum (L)**: - Defined as \( L = mvr \). - Here, \( m = M \), \( v = L/T \), and \( r = L \). - Therefore, \( L = M \cdot \frac{L}{T} \cdot L = ML^2T^{-1} \). - **Work (W)**: - Defined as \( W = F \cdot d \). - Force \( F = MLT^{-2} \) and distance \( d = L \). - Therefore, \( W = MLT^{-2} \cdot L = ML^2T^{-2} \). - **Conclusion**: The dimensions of Angular Momentum \( (ML^2T^{-1}) \) and Work \( (ML^2T^{-2}) \) are not the same. 4. **Identify the fourth pair: Work and Torque** - **Work (W)**: - As calculated before, \( W = ML^2T^{-2} \). - **Torque (τ)**: - Defined as \( τ = F \cdot r \). - Force \( F = MLT^{-2} \) and radius \( r = L \). - Therefore, \( τ = MLT^{-2} \cdot L = ML^2T^{-2} \). - **Conclusion**: The dimensions of Work \( (ML^2T^{-2}) \) and Torque \( (ML^2T^{-2}) \) are the same. ### Final Answer: The pair of quantities having the same dimensions is **Work and Torque**. ---
