The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements given: **Statement A:** "Plane angle has a unit but no dimensional formula." **Statement B:** "All dimensionless quantities are unitless." ### Step 1: Analyzing Statement A 1. **Understanding Plane Angle:** - A plane angle is a measure of rotation between two intersecting lines. - Common units for measuring angles include degrees, radians, and gradians. - In SI units, the radian is the standard unit for measuring angles. 2. **Dimensional Formula of Plane Angle:** - A plane angle is defined as the ratio of two lengths (arc length to radius). - Since it is a ratio of two lengths, it is dimensionless. - Therefore, while it has a unit (like radians), it does not have a dimensional formula. **Conclusion for Statement A:** - Statement A is **true** because a plane angle has units (like radians) but does not have a dimensional formula. ### Step 2: Analyzing Statement B 1. **Understanding Dimensionless Quantities:** - Dimensionless quantities are those that do not have any physical dimensions (length, mass, time, etc.). - Examples include ratios, such as the coefficient of friction, which is a ratio of two forces. 2. **Unitless vs. Dimensionless:** - While all unitless quantities are dimensionless, not all dimensionless quantities are unitless. - For instance, the mechanical equivalent of heat is a dimensionless quantity but has dimensions associated with it (it relates energy to temperature). **Conclusion for Statement B:** - Statement B is **false** because there are dimensionless quantities that still have dimensions, even if they do not have units. ### Final Answer: - Based on the analysis, the correct option is that **only Statement A is true**. Therefore, the answer is option **3**. ---
