    A pair of physical quantities having same dimensional formula is:                 [AIPMT 2000]

    A) force and torque

    B) work and energy

    C) force and impulse                                   

    D) linear momentum and angular momentum

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Force = Mass × acceleration
                or         \[F=ma\]
                \[\therefore \]      \[[F]=\,[m]\,[a]\]
                            \[=[M]\,[L{{T}^{-2}}]\,\,=\,[ML{{T}^{-2}}]\]
                Torque = Moment of inertia × angular acceleration
    or         \[\tau =I\times \alpha \]
    \[\therefore \]      \[[\tau ]=\,[I]\,[\alpha ]\]
                            \[=[M{{L}^{2}}]\,[{{T}^{-2}}]\]
                            \[=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]
    [b]        Work = Force × displacement
    or         \[W=F\times d\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[[W]\,=[F]\,[d]\]
                            \[=\,[ML{{T}^{-2}}]\,[L]\]
                            \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]
                Energy   \[=\frac{1}{2}\times Mass\times {{(Velocity)}^{2}}\]
                or         \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]
                \[\therefore \]      \[[K]=[m]\,[{{v}^{2}}]\]
                            \[=[M]\,[L{{T}^{-1}}]\,\,=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]
                            Force as discussed above
                            \[[F]\,=[ML{{T}^{-2}}]\]
                            Impulse = Force × time-interval
                            \[[I]=[F]\times [\Delta t]\]
                \[\therefore \]      \[[I]\,=[ML{{T}^{-2}}]\,[T]\]
                            \[=[ML{{T}^{-1}}]\]
                [d]        Linear momentum = Mass × Velocity
                or         \[\left[ p \right]=\left[ m \right]\text{ }\left[ v \right]\]
                \[\therefore \]      \[[p]\,=[M]\,\,[L{{T}^{-1}}]\]
                            \[=[ML{{T}^{-1}}]\]
                Angular momentum = Moment of inertia \[\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\,\,\text{angular}\,\text{velocity}\]
                or         \[[L]=[I]\times [\omega ]\]
                \[\therefore \]      \[[L]=[M{{L}^{2}}]\,[{{T}^{-1}}]\]
                            \[=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]
                Hence, we observe that choice [b] is correct.
                Note:    In this problem, the momentum of inertia and impulse are given same symbol \[l\].
