The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of identifying which pair of physical quantities does not have equal dimensions, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 - Energy and Torque - **Energy**: The dimension of energy is given by the formula \( \text{Energy} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \). - Force (F) has dimensions of \( [M][L][T^{-2}] \) (mass × acceleration). - Distance (d) has dimensions of \( [L] \). - Therefore, the dimensions of energy are: \[ [E] = [F][d] = [M][L][T^{-2}][L] = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \] - **Torque**: Torque is defined as \( \text{Torque} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \) (lever arm). - Using the same dimensions for force and distance: \[ [\tau] = [F][d] = [M][L][T^{-2}][L] = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \] - **Conclusion for Option 1**: Both energy and torque have the same dimensions of \( [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \). ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 - Force and Impulse - **Force**: As previously calculated, the dimensions of force are: \[ [F] = [M][L][T^{-2}] \] - **Impulse**: Impulse is defined as the product of force and time: \[ \text{Impulse} = \text{Force} \times \text{Time} \] - Time has dimensions of \( [T] \), thus: \[ [I] = [F][T] = [M][L][T^{-2}][T] = [M][L][T^{-1}] \] - **Conclusion for Option 2**: Force has dimensions \( [M][L][T^{-2}] \) and impulse has dimensions \( [M][L][T^{-1}] \). They are not equal. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 - Angular Momentum and Planck's Constant - **Angular Momentum**: Defined as \( \text{Angular Momentum} = \text{Moment of Inertia} \times \text{Angular Velocity} \). - Moment of Inertia has dimensions \( [M][L^2] \) and Angular Velocity has dimensions \( [T^{-1}] \): \[ [L] = [M][L^2][T^{-1}] = [M][L^2][T^{-1}] \] - **Planck's Constant**: It is defined as energy multiplied by time: \[ [h] = [E][T] = [M][L^2][T^{-2}][T] = [M][L^2][T^{-1}] \] - **Conclusion for Option 3**: Both angular momentum and Planck's constant have the same dimensions of \( [M][L^2][T^{-1}] \). ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 - Elastic Modulus and Pressure - **Elastic Modulus**: Defined as stress over strain. Stress has dimensions of pressure: \[ [E] = \frac{[F]/[A]}{[L]} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] - **Pressure**: Defined as force per unit area: \[ [P] = \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] - **Conclusion for Option 4**: Both elastic modulus and pressure have the same dimensions of \( [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \). ### Final Conclusion The only pair that does not have equal dimensions is **Option 2: Force and Impulse**.
