Question

Q.2
A quantity X is defined as the ratio of
the angular momentum to linear
momentum of an object. The
dimension of X is​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Angular momentum is given by: L=r×mv

Linear momentum is given by: p=mv

Ratio of angular momentum to the linear momentum is:

p

L

=

mv

r×mv

=r

Unit of r is meter. Hence, dimension of r is [L

1

]

Therefore, the dimension of the ratio of angular momentum and linear momentum is:

p

L

=[L
