Which of the following physical quantity has different dimension than others?
a)
Energy
b)
Watt hour
c)
Momentum
d)
Work

Riya Banerjee answered |
Dimension of work and energy are the same i.e. [ML²T⁻²].
Power = Energy/Time,
Energy = Power × Time (in terms of hour instead of second),
Energy = Watt × Hour,
= [ML²T⁻³] [T],
= [ML²T⁻²].
But, Momentum(p) = Mass × Velocity,
p = [M] [LT⁻¹],
p = [MLT⁻¹].
Hence the Dimension of work, energy and watt-hour is the same i.e. [ML²T⁻²] but the dimension of momentum is different ([MLT⁻¹]).

There are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number:
- Non-zero digits are always significant.
- Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
- A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.
Keeping these rules in mind, we can say that there are 5 significant digits.

Hence, we get 1 meter2 = 1/x2 unit2
So 1 unit2 = x2 meter2
Hence, we get 1 meter2 = 1/x2 unit2

Rajeev Saxena answered |
A unit need not always mean a physical unit. So a dimensionless quantity will always be independent of the base units — meter, second, kilograms, kelvin, candela, moles, ampere.
But there are other quantities that are dimensionless, but have a unit. For example, radian is the unit for an angle. But it is dimensionless because it is defined to be the ratio of two lengths.

Preeti Iyer answered |
- Dimensional Equations are used to derive the Relations between the Physical quantities . Also, they are used to check the correctness of the Equation by the Principle of the homogeneity of the dimensions. Hence, Option (a) and option (b) are true for the Dimensional equation. Thus, It is not correct for the given questions.
- Dimensional Equations are not valid for the Pure numbers since they are non-dimensional constants.and also they do not provide the Value of the Constant of the Proportionality.
- Thus, we can also say that all equations which are correct must be dimensionally correct but all those equations which are dimensionally correct may or may not be accurately correct. Thus, Option Option (c). is correct answer for the Given question.
- Dimensional Equations are used for the conversions of the units thus this option can not be correct for the given question.

Arun Khanna answered |
Here, 157900 (the significant digits are underlined here) implies that the population is believed to be within the range of about 157850 to about 157950. In other words, the population is 157900�50. The “plus-or-minus 50” appended to this number means that we consider the absolute uncertainty of the population measurement to be 50 – (–50) = 100. We can also say that the relative uncertainty is 100/157900, which we can also express as 1 part in 1579, or 1/1579 = 0.000633, or about 0.06 percent.

If an equation fails this consistency test, it is proved wrong, but if it passes, it is not proved right.
Thus, a dimensionally correct equation need not be actually an exact (correct) equation, but a dimensionally wrong (incorrect) or inconsistent equation is definitely wrong.

Preeti Iyer answered |
► Time can be converted as t = (8 x 60) + 20s = 500 seconds
► Now speed given= 1 unit
We know speed = Distance / Time
which implies distance = Speed x Time
Hence, the distance becomes 1 x 500 = 500 units.
► Now speed given= 1 unit
We know speed = Distance / Time
which implies distance = Speed x Time
Hence, the distance becomes 1 x 500 = 500 units.

In CGS system,
The unit of mass is 100g and unit of length is 10 cm, so
density = 
= 40 unit

Shreya Gupta answered |
The principle of homogeneity is that the dimensions of each the terms of a dimensiional equation on both sides are the same. Any equation or formula involving dimensions (like mass, length, time , temperature electricity) have the terms with same dimensions. This helps us, therefore, to convert the units in one sytem to another system.

The multiplication of the numbers:
10.610 × 0.210 = 2.2281
10.610 × 0.210 = 2.2281
Since, the numbers 10.610 and 0.210 have 5 and 3 significant digits, respectively. So, the final result must also have 3 significant digits.
The final answer is 2.23.

L3 T-2(b)M-1 L3 T-2(c)M-2 L3 T-2(d)M L3 T-2
The correct answer is (b) M-1 L3 T-2.
Universal gravitational constant, denoted by G, is defined as the proportionality constant in the law of universal gravitation. According to this law, the force of attraction between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Therefore, the dimensions of G can be derived by equating the dimensions of force, mass, and distance in the above equation.
Dimensions of force = M L T-2
Dimensions of mass = M
Dimensions of distance = L
Substituting these values in the equation, we get:
M L T-2 = G (M2/L2)
On simplifying, we get:
G = M-1 L3 T-2
Hence, the dimensions of universal gravitational constant are M-1 L3 T-2.
The correct answer is (b) M-1 L3 T-2.
