The correct Answer is:
To determine which physical quantities do not have the same dimensions, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step 1: Analyze Pressure and Stress - **Pressure (P)** is defined as force (F) per unit area (A): \[ P = \frac{F}{A} \] The dimension of force is \( [F] = [M][L][T^{-2}] \) and the dimension of area is \( [A] = [L^2] \). Thus, the dimension of pressure is: \[ [P] = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] - **Stress (σ)** is also defined as force per unit area: \[ \sigma = \frac{F}{A} \] Therefore, the dimension of stress is the same as pressure: \[ [\sigma] = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] **Conclusion**: Pressure and stress have the same dimensions. ### Step 2: Analyze Tension and Surface Tension - **Tension (T)** is a force, so its dimension is: \[ [T] = [M][L][T^{-2}] \] - **Surface Tension (γ)** is defined as force per unit length: \[ \gamma = \frac{F}{L} \] Thus, the dimension of surface tension is: \[ [\gamma] = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L]} = [M][T^{-2}][L^{-1}] \] **Conclusion**: Tension and surface tension do not have the same dimensions. ### Step 3: Analyze Strain and Angle - **Strain** is a dimensionless quantity defined as the ratio of change in length to original length: \[ \text{Strain} = \frac{\Delta L}{L} \] Therefore, it has no dimensions. - **Angle** is also a dimensionless quantity, typically measured in radians: \[ \text{Angle} = \frac{\text{Arc Length}}{\text{Radius}} \] Thus, it is also dimensionless. **Conclusion**: Strain and angle have the same dimensions (both are dimensionless). ### Step 4: Analyze Energy and Work - **Energy (E)** and **Work (W)** are defined as: \[ W = F \cdot d \] where \(d\) is displacement. The dimension of work (and energy) is: \[ [W] = [F][L] = [M][L][T^{-2}][L] = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \] **Conclusion**: Energy and work have the same dimensions. ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all the options, the only pair of physical quantities that do not have the same dimensions is **Tension and Surface Tension**. ### Answer **The physical quantities that do not have the same dimensions are Tension and Surface Tension.**
