Dimensional Formula for Impulse – Rankers Physics

Dimensions: Practice Problem & Solution

The dimensional formula for impulse is
\[MLT^{–1}\]
\[M^{–1}LT\]
\[M^{–1}LT^{–1}\]
\[ML^{–1}T^{–1}\]

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

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

Impulse is given by \(I = F \cdot t = [MLT^{-2}][T] = [MLT^{-1}]\).
