Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Angular impulse is given when a torque is applied for a certain amount of time. The angular impulse changes the angular momentum of an object and has the same dimensions as angular momentum.
The dimensional formula for torque is the same as that for work, since torque is a kind of rotational work, which is given by force times distance (or in rotational terms, it can be considered as force times lever arm). The dimensional formula for force is , and when multiplied by distance , we get:
Now, angular impulse is torque times time, so we multiply the dimension of torque by time :
So the correct dimensional formula for angular impulse is given by Option C, which is .
