Dimensional Analysis of Reciprocal Mass – Rankers Physics

Dimensions: Practice Problem & Solution

The mechanical quantity, which has dimensions of reciprocal of mass (\(\text{M}^{-1}\)) is
Torque
Gravitational constant
Angular momentum
Coefficient of thermal conductivity

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Dimensions. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The dimensions of the Gravitational constant \(G\) are \([\text{M}^{-1}\text{L}^3\text{T}^{-2}]\). Thus, it has the dimensions of reciprocal of mass.
