NEET2007PhysicsUnits and DimensionsActual
Which of the following physical quantities do not have same dimensions?
Options
- Apressure and stress
- Btension and surface tension
- Cstrain and angle
- Denergy and work.
Correct answer
B. tension and surface tension
Step-by-step solution
Pressure and stress both have the dimensions of force/area. Strain and angle are both dimensionsless. Energy and work have the same dimensions force ( ) distance. Tension and surface tension refer to two different physical quantities and their dimensions are different. Tension is a force and surface tension is force per unit length.
