The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the pairs have the same dimensions, we will analyze each pair one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Force and Strain - **Force**: The formula for force is given by Newton's second law, \( F = ma \), where \( m \) is mass and \( a \) is acceleration. - The unit of force is Newton (N), which can be expressed as: \[ 1 \, \text{N} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2 \] - The dimensions of force are: \[ [F] = [M^1 L^1 T^{-2}] \] - **Strain**: Strain is defined as the ratio of change in length to the original length, which is a dimensionless quantity. - Therefore, strain has no dimensions: \[ [\text{Strain}] = [1] \] **Conclusion**: Force and strain do not have the same dimensions. ### Step 2: Analyze Force and Stress - **Stress**: Stress is defined as force per unit area. - The unit of stress is Pascal (Pa), which can be expressed as: \[ 1 \, \text{Pa} = 1 \, \text{N/m}^2 \] - Thus, the dimensions of stress are: \[ [\text{Stress}] = \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{[M^1 L^1 T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] **Conclusion**: Force and stress do not have the same dimensions. ### Step 3: Analyze Angular Velocity and Frequency - **Angular Velocity**: Angular velocity (\( \omega \)) is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time. - The unit of angular velocity is radians per second (rad/s), which has the dimensions: \[ [\omega] = [T^{-1}] \] - **Frequency**: Frequency (\( f \)) is defined as the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. - The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is also expressed as: \[ 1 \, \text{Hz} = 1 \, \text{s}^{-1} \] - Thus, the dimensions of frequency are: \[ [f] = [T^{-1}] \] **Conclusion**: Angular velocity and frequency have the same dimensions. ### Step 4: Analyze Energy and Strain - **Energy**: The unit of energy is Joule (J), which can be expressed as: \[ 1 \, \text{J} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 \] - The dimensions of energy are: \[ [E] = [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \] - **Strain**: As established earlier, strain is dimensionless: \[ [\text{Strain}] = [1] \] **Conclusion**: Energy and strain do not have the same dimensions. ### Final Answer The only pair that has the same dimensions is **Option C: Angular Velocity and Frequency**. ---
