    Dimensions of torque are:

    A) \[[{{M}^{2}}{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]                             

    B) \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    C)  \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]                           

    D)  \[[M{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Torque is measured in units of newton-metres. The force applied to a lever, multiplied by its distance from the lever's fulcrum is torque. \[i.e.,\]   \[\tau =r\cdot F\] or              \[\tau =N\text{-}m\] \[\therefore \]  \[[\tau ]=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]\] Note: Torque is the time derivative of angular momentum. Also dimensions of work, kinetic energy and torque are same.
