Correct Answer - Option 2 : moment of inertia and moment of a force

CONCEPT:

Dimensions

• Dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers to which the fundamental units are raised to obtain one unit of that quantity.

EXPLANATION:

 Physical quantity Dimension Angular momentum $\left [ M^{1}L^{2}T^{-1} \right ]$ Planck's constant $\left [ M^{1}L^{2}T^{-1} \right ]$ Moment of inertia $\left [ M^{1}L^{2}T^{0} \right ]$ Moment of force $\left [ M^{1}L^{2}T^{-2} \right ]$ Work $\left [ M^{1}L^{2}T^{-2} \right ]$ Torque $\left [ M^{1}L^{2}T^{-2} \right ]$ Impulse $\left [ M^{1}L^{1}T^{-1} \right ]$ Momentum $\left [ M^{1}L^{1}T^{-1} \right ]$
• From the above table, it is clear that the moment of inertia and moment of a force does not have the same dimensions. Hence, option 2 is correct.
