For example specific gravity and strain both are unitless quantities and hence have no dimensions.

We have to write some examples for dimensionless unitless physical quantity.

Before writing examples, we should go through the meaning of dimensionless unitless physical quantity.

  • Dimensionless : It is a quantity which has no physical dimension [ like exponent of M , L , T etc.. ]
  • unitless : unitless is the one in which there is no any fundamental physical quantity involved [length , mass , time etc.. ]
  • All unitless quantities are dimensionless but all dimensionless can't be unitless. for example, atomic mass is dimensionless quantity but it has unit 'amu'.

some examples for dimensionless unitless physical quantity :

  • Coefficient of friction : it is dimensionless as well as unitless. It is the ratio of fricitional force to the normal reaction when object is just put in the ground with inclination.
  • Refractive index of a medium : It is also dimensionless as well as unitless. it is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium.
  • Relative density : same here, it is also dimensionless and unitless quantity. It is the ratio of a substance to the density of water at 4°C.
  • Strain : It is also dimensionless and unitless quantity. It is the ratio of change in length to the original length.
