Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why the dimensions of torque and work are the same despite being different quantities, we can break down the solution into the following steps: ### Step 1: Define Work and Torque - **Work (W)** is defined as the product of force (F) and displacement (s) in the direction of the force. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} \] where \( \vec{F} \) is the force vector and \( \vec{s} \) is the displacement vector. ...
