  1. The dimensional formula of torque is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    τ = [Force × distance]
    = [MLT–2] [L] = ML2T–2

    Correct Option: A

    τ = [Force × distance]
    = [MLT–2] [L] = ML2T–2


  1. The dimensional formula of pressure is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    [Pressure] = [Force] / [Area]

    =
    [MLT–2]
    = ML–1T–2
    L2

    Correct Option: C

    [Pressure] = [Force] / [Area]

    =
    [MLT–2]
    = ML–1T–2
    L2
