The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which pair of physical quantities has different dimensional formulas, we will analyze each pair step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Impulse and Momentum 1. **Impulse (J)**: - Impulse is defined as the product of force and time. - The formula for impulse is: \[ J = F \cdot t \] - The dimension of force (F) is given by: \[ F = m \cdot a = m \cdot \left( \frac{L}{T^2} \right) = MLT^{-2} \] - Therefore, the dimension of impulse is: \[ [J] = [F] \cdot [t] = (MLT^{-2}) \cdot T = MLT^{-1} \] 2. **Momentum (P)**: - Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. - The formula for momentum is: \[ P = m \cdot v \] - The dimension of velocity (v) is: \[ v = \frac{L}{T} \] - Therefore, the dimension of momentum is: \[ [P] = M \cdot \left( \frac{L}{T} \right) = MLT^{-1} \] **Conclusion**: The dimensions of impulse and momentum are the same: \( MLT^{-1} \). ### Step 2: Analyze Torque and Work 1. **Torque (τ)**: - Torque is defined as the product of force and the distance from the pivot point. - The formula for torque is: \[ τ = F \cdot r \] - Using the dimension of force: \[ [τ] = [F] \cdot [r] = (MLT^{-2}) \cdot L = ML^2T^{-2} \] 2. **Work (W)**: - Work is defined as the product of force and displacement. - The formula for work is: \[ W = F \cdot d \] - Therefore, the dimension of work is: \[ [W] = [F] \cdot [d] = (MLT^{-2}) \cdot L = ML^2T^{-2} \] **Conclusion**: The dimensions of torque and work are the same: \( ML^2T^{-2} \). ### Step 3: Analyze Stress and Pressure 1. **Stress**: - Stress is defined as force per unit area. - The formula for stress is: \[ \text{Stress} = \frac{F}{A} \] - The dimension of area (A) is: \[ A = L^2 \] - Therefore, the dimension of stress is: \[ [\text{Stress}] = \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = M L^{-1} T^{-2} \] 2. **Pressure**: - Pressure is also defined as force per unit area. - The formula for pressure is: \[ \text{Pressure} = \frac{F}{A} \] - Therefore, the dimension of pressure is: \[ [\text{Pressure}] = \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = M L^{-1} T^{-2} \] **Conclusion**: The dimensions of stress and pressure are the same: \( M L^{-1} T^{-2} \). ### Step 4: Analyze Momentum and Angular Momentum 1. **Momentum (P)**: - We already calculated: \[ [P] = MLT^{-1} \] 2. **Angular Momentum (L)**: - Angular momentum is defined as the product of linear momentum and the distance from the pivot point. - The formula for angular momentum is: \[ L = P \cdot r \] - Therefore, the dimension of angular momentum is: \[ [L] = [P] \cdot [r] = (MLT^{-1}) \cdot L = ML^2T^{-1} \] **Conclusion**: The dimensions of momentum and angular momentum are different: \( MLT^{-1} \) and \( ML^2T^{-1} \) respectively. ### Final Answer The pair with different dimensional formulas is **Momentum and Angular Momentum**.
