Detailed Solution

Let's analyze the dimensions of each physical quantity in the given options.

(a) Torque and Energy

  • Torque τ=Force×Distance\tau = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} [τ]=(MLT2)×L=ML2T2[\tau] = \left( MLT^{-2} \right) \times L = ML^2T^{-2}
  • Energy E=Work=Force×DisplacementE = \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Displacement} [E]=(MLT2)×L=ML2T2[E] = \left( MLT^{-2} \right) \times L = ML^2T^{-2}

(b) Surface Tension and Impulse

  • Surface Tension S=ForceLengthS = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Length}} [S]=MLT2L=MT2[S] = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L} = MT^{-2}
  • Impulse J=Force×TimeJ = \text{Force} \times \text{Time} [J]=(MLT2)×T=MLT1[J] = (MLT^{-2}) \times T = MLT^{-1}

(c) Angular Momentum and Planck’s Constant

  • Angular Momentum L=Moment of Inertia×Angular VelocityL = \text{Moment of Inertia} \times \text{Angular Velocity} [L]=(ML2)×(T1)=ML2T1[L] = \left( ML^2 \right) \times \left( T^{-1} \right) = ML^2T^{-1}
  • Planck’s Constant hh (from E=hνE = h\nu, where ν\nu has T1T^{-1}[h]=Eν=ML2T2T1=ML2T1[h] = \frac{E}{\nu} = \frac{ML^2T^{-2}}{T^{-1}} = ML^2T^{-1}

(d) Pressure and Young’s Modulus

  • Pressure P=ForceAreaP = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} [P]=MLT2L2=ML1T2[P] = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = ML^{-1}T^{-2}
  • Young’s Modulus Y=StressStrainY = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}}
    • Stress has the same dimensions as Pressure.
    • Strain is dimensionless.
    • [Y]=ML−1T−2
