4. Select the pair whose dimensions are same
a) Pressure and stress
b) Stress and strain
c) Pressure and force
d) Power and force

Answer: a
Explanation:
q104

5. Dimensional formula \[ML^{-1}T^{-2} \]  does not represent the physical quantity
a) Young's modulus of elasticity
b) Stress
c) Strain
d) Pressure

Answer: c
Explanation:
q105

6. Dimensional formula \[ML^{2}T^{-3} \]  represents
a) Force
b) Power
c) Energy
d) Work

Answer: b
Explanation:
q106

7. The dimensions of calorie are
a) \[ML^{2}T^{-2}\]
b) \[MLT^{-2}\]
c) \[ML^{2}T^{-1}\]
d) \[ML^{2}T^{-3}\]

Answer: a
Explanation: Calorie is the unit of heat i.e., energy. So dimensions of energy = ML2T-2

8. Whose dimensions is \[ML^{2}T^{-1}\]
a) Torque
b) Angular momentum
c) Power
d) Work

Answer: b
Explanation: Angular momentum = mvr = MLT-1 * L = ML2T-1

9. If C and R represent capacitance and resistance respectively, then the dimensions of RC are
a) \[M^{0}L^{0}T^{2}\]
b) \[M^{0}L^{0}T\]
c) \[ML^{-1}\]
d) None of the above

Answer: b
Explanation:
q109

10. Dimensions of one or more pairs are same. Identify the pairs
a) Torque and work
b) Light year and wavelength
c) Energy and Young's modulus
d) Both a and b

Answer: d
Explanation: [Torque] = [work] = [ML2T–2]
[Light year] = [Wavelength] = [L]
