Question
The quantities which have the same dimensions as those of solid angle are:
Options
A.strain and arc
B.angular speed and stress
C.strain and angle
D.stress and angle
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Solid angle is dimensionless — quantities with same dimensions]
Solid angle $d\Omega = \frac{dA}{r^{2}}$ has dimensions $\left\lbrack M^{0}{\text{ }L}^{0}{\text{ }T}^{0} \right\rbrack$
$$\text{~}\text{Strain}\text{~} = \frac{\Delta l}{l}\text{~}\text{has dimensions}\text{~}\left\lbrack M^{0}{\text{ }L}^{0}{\text{ }T}^{0} \right\rbrack$$
Angle measured in radians is also dimensionless $\left\lbrack M^{0}{\text{ }L}^{0}{\text{ }T}^{0} \right\rbrack$
$$\theta = \frac{l}{r}$$
