The dimensions of torque are same as that of (a) moment of force (b) pressure. (c) acceleration (d) impulse

Answer: (a). Torque is the moment of a force, τ = rFsin θ, with dimensions [ML²T⁻²]. Pressure [ML⁻¹T⁻²], acceleration [LT⁻²], impulse [MLT⁻¹] do not match. So the answer is (a) moment of force.

Torque, Couple & Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies

The dimensions of torque are same as that of

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Torque is the moment of a force, $\tau = rF\sin\theta$ , with dimensions $[ML^2T^{-2}]$ .
Pressure $[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$ , acceleration $[LT^{-2}]$ , impulse $[MLT^{-1}]$ do not match.
So the answer is (a) moment of force.
