The dimensions of universal gravitational constant are:
[2004]
From \(F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}\), we get \(G = \frac{Fr^2}{m_1 m_2}\). So, \([G] = \frac{(MLT^{-2})(L^2)}{M^2} = M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}\).

Which of the following is a dimensional constant?
[1995]
A dimensional constant is a physical constant with dimensions. The Gravitational constant \(G\) is a dimensional constant with dimensions \(M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}\).
The dimensions of \(RC\) is:
[1995]
The product \(RC\) represents the time constant of an \(RC\) circuit, and its dimension is time, \(T\).
Which of the following has the dimensions of pressure?
[1994,90]
Pressure is defined as Force per unit Area. Its dimensions are \(MLT^{-2} / L^2 = ML^{-1}T^{-2}\).
The dimensional formula of permeability of free space \(\mu_0\) is
[1991]
From Ampere's law, the dimensions of permeability of free space \(\mu_0\) are derived as \(MLT^{-2}A^{-2}\).
According to Newton, the viscous force acting between liquid layers of area \(A\) and velocity gradient \( \Delta v / \Delta z \) is given by \(F = -\eta A (\Delta v / \Delta z)\), where \(\eta\) is constant called coefficient of viscosity. The dimensional formula of \(\eta\) is:
[1990]
From the formula \(F = -\eta A (\Delta v / \Delta z)\), the dimension of \(\eta\) is \(F / (A \cdot (\Delta v / \Delta z)) = [MLT^{-2}] / ([L^2] \cdot [T^{-1}]) = [ML^{-1}T^{-1}]\).
Which of the following quantities, which one has dimensions different from the remaining three?
[1989]
Energy per unit volume, force per unit area, and product of voltage and charge per unit volume all have dimensions \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\). Angular momentum has dimensions \(ML^2T^{-1}\), which is different.
Dimensional formula of self inductance is:
[1989]
The energy stored in an inductor is \(U = \frac{1}{2}LI^2\). Therefore, the dimensions of self-inductance \(L\) are \(U/I^2 = [ML^2T^{-2}]/[A^2] = [ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}]\).
The dimensional formula of torque is:
[1989]
Torque is calculated as Force \(\times\) perpendicular distance. So its dimensions are \([MLT^{-2}] \times [L] = [ML^2T^{-2}]\).
If \(C\) and \(R\) denote capacitance and resistance, the dimensional formula of \(CR\) is:
[1988]
The product \(CR\) is the time constant of an RC circuit. Its dimension is time, \(T\), which can be written as \(M^0L^0T^1\).
