Dimensional formula identification: ML²T⁻² corresponds to which physical quantity? Use standard M–L–T dimensional analysis for mechanical quantities. Choose the correct option.

IIT JEE Physics Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
  • A
    Power
  • B
    Work or energy (also torque)
  • C
    Linear momentum
  • D
    Pressure

Answer

Correct Answer: Work or energy (also torque)

Explanation

DerivationWork = Force × distance = (MLT-2) × L = ML2T-2.Torque = r × F has the same dimensions ML2T-2.

ContrastPower = Work/time ⇒ ML2T-3; Momentum = MLT-1; Pressure = ML-1T-2.

Final AnswerWork or energy (also torque)
