A pair of physical quantities having the same dimensional formula is :...
Explanation:
Dimensional formula:
The dimensional formula is a way to express the physical quantities in terms of the fundamental dimensions such as length, mass, and time. It represents the powers to which the fundamental dimensions are raised in the expression of the physical quantity.
Similar dimensional formulas:
Two physical quantities are said to have the same dimensional formula if they are expressed in terms of the same fundamental dimensions with the same powers.
Options:
a) angular momentum and torque: The dimensional formula for angular momentum is [ML^2T^-1] and the dimensional formula for torque is [ML^2T^-2]. Therefore, option a) is incorrect as they have different dimensional formulas.
b) torque and energy: The dimensional formula for torque is [ML^2T^-2] and the dimensional formula for energy is [ML^2T^-2]. Therefore, option b) is correct as they have the same dimensional formula.
c) force and power: The dimensional formula for force is [MLT^-2] and the dimensional formula for power is [ML^2T^-3]. Therefore, option c) is incorrect as they have different dimensional formulas.
d) power and angular momentum: The dimensional formula for power is [ML^2T^-3] and the dimensional formula for angular momentum is [ML^2T^-1]. Therefore, option d) is incorrect as they have different dimensional formulas.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is option b) torque and energy, as they have the same dimensional formula [ML^2T^-2].
