The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of the given physical quantities, we will analyze each one step by step based on the provided equations. ### Step 1: Find the dimensions of angular speed (ω) **Definition**: Angular speed (ω) is defined as the rate of change of angle with respect to time. **Formula**: \[ \omega = \frac{\theta_2 - \theta_1}{t_2 - t_1} \] - The angle (θ) is a dimensionless quantity (it is measured in radians, which are unitless). - Time (t) has the dimension of [T]. **Calculation**: \[ \text{Dimension of } \omega = \frac{\text{Dimension of angle}}{\text{Dimension of time}} = \frac{1}{T} = T^{-1} \] ### Step 2: Find the dimensions of angular acceleration (α) **Definition**: Angular acceleration (α) is defined as the rate of change of angular speed with respect to time. **Formula**: \[ \alpha = \frac{\omega_2 - \omega_1}{t_2 - t_1} \] - We already found that the dimension of angular speed (ω) is [T^{-1}]. - Time (t) has the dimension of [T]. **Calculation**: \[ \text{Dimension of } \alpha = \frac{\text{Dimension of } \omega}{\text{Dimension of time}} = \frac{T^{-1}}{T} = T^{-2} \] ### Step 3: Find the dimensions of torque (τ) **Definition**: Torque (τ) is defined as the product of force and the distance from the pivot point. **Formula**: \[ \tau = F \cdot r \] - The dimension of force (F) is [M L T^{-2}]. - The dimension of distance (r) is [L]. **Calculation**: \[ \text{Dimension of } \tau = \text{Dimension of } F \cdot \text{Dimension of } r = (M L T^{-2}) \cdot (L) = M L^2 T^{-2} \] ### Step 4: Find the dimensions of moment of inertia (I) **Definition**: Moment of inertia (I) is defined as the mass times the square of the distance from the axis of rotation. **Formula**: \[ I = m \cdot r^2 \] - The dimension of mass (m) is [M]. - The dimension of distance (r) is [L]. **Calculation**: \[ \text{Dimension of } I = \text{Dimension of } m \cdot (\text{Dimension of } r)^2 = M \cdot (L^2) = M L^2 \] ### Summary of Dimensions - **Angular speed (ω)**: \( T^{-1} \) - **Angular acceleration (α)**: \( T^{-2} \) - **Torque (τ)**: \( M L^2 T^{-2} \) - **Moment of inertia (I)**: \( M L^2 \) ---
