Dimensional Formula of Torque – Rankers Physics

Dimensions: Practice Problem & Solution

Dimensional formula for torque is
\([ML^2T^{-2}]\)
\([MLT^{-2}]\)
\([M^2L^{-1}T]\)
\([ML^{-1}T^{-3}]\)

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:

Torque is defined as force multiplied by perpendicular distance: \(\tau = F \times r\). Its dimensions are \([MLT^{-2}] \times [L] = [ML^2T^{-2}]\).
