Physical World Units and Measurements - Result Question 19

19. The ratio of the dimension of Planck’s constant and that of the moment of inertia is the dimension of

[2005]

(a) time

(b) frequency

(c) angular momentum

(d) velocity

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 19. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Dimension formula for the planck’s constant, $h=[ML^{2} T^{1}]$

Dimension formula for the moment of inertia, $I=[ML^{2}]$

So, the ratio between the plank’s constant and moment of inertia is

$\Rightarrow \frac{h}{I}=\frac{[ML^{2} T^{-1}]}{[ML^{2}]} \Rightarrow[T^{-1}]$

$\Rightarrow \frac{h}{I}=[T^{-1}] \Rightarrow$ dimension of frequency

(b) $F=\frac{G M_1 m_2}{r^{2}} \Rightarrow G=\frac{F r^{2}}{M_1 m_2}$

$\therefore$ dimension of $G$ is $\frac{[MLT^{-2}][L^{2}]}{[M][M]}$

$ =[M^{-1} L^{3} T^{-2}] $
