The correct Answer is:
To determine which pairs of physical quantities have the same dimensions, we will calculate the dimensions of each quantity step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate the dimensions of Force - **Formula for Force**: \( F = m \cdot a \) - **Where**: - \( m \) (mass) has dimensions \( [M] \) - \( a \) (acceleration) has dimensions \( [L][T^{-2}] \) - **Dimensions of Force**: \[ [F] = [M][L][T^{-2}] = [L^1 M^1 T^{-2}] \] ### Step 2: Calculate the dimensions of Torque - **Formula for Torque**: \( \tau = F \cdot r \) - **Where**: - \( F \) (force) has dimensions \( [L^1 M^1 T^{-2}] \) - \( r \) (arm length) has dimensions \( [L] \) - **Dimensions of Torque**: \[ [\tau] = [L^1 M^1 T^{-2}] \cdot [L^1] = [L^2 M^1 T^{-2}] \] ### Step 3: Calculate the dimensions of Energy - **Formula for Energy**: \( E = m \cdot v^2 \) - **Where**: - \( m \) (mass) has dimensions \( [M] \) - \( v \) (velocity) has dimensions \( [L][T^{-1}] \) - **Dimensions of Energy**: \[ [E] = [M] \cdot [L^1 T^{-1}]^2 = [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \] ### Step 4: Calculate the dimensions of Power - **Formula for Power**: \( P = \frac{W}{t} \) - **Where**: - \( W \) (work done) is equivalent to energy, which has dimensions \( [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \) - \( t \) (time) has dimensions \( [T] \) - **Dimensions of Power**: \[ [P] = \frac{[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]}{[T^1]} = [M^1 L^2 T^{-3}] \] ### Summary of Dimensions - Force: \( [L^1 M^1 T^{-2}] \) - Torque: \( [L^2 M^1 T^{-2}] \) - Energy: \( [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \) - Power: \( [M^1 L^2 T^{-3}] \) ### Conclusion From the calculations, we can see that: - Torque and Energy both have dimensions \( [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \). Thus, the answer is that the pair of physical quantities with the same dimensions is **Torque and Energy**. ---
