Dimensions of Impulse – Rankers Physics

Dimensions: Practice Problem & Solution

The dimensions of impulse are equal to that of: [1996]
Pressure
Linear momentum
Force
Angular momentum

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 defined as change in momentum. Therefore, their dimensions are equal, \(MLT^{-1}\).
