A dimensionless quantity (a) never has a unit, (b) always has a unit, (c) may have a unit, (d) does not exist.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Please give example too.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

radians are dimensionless because they are defined in terms of length/length (circumference/diameter)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\pi\text{ radians }={C\cancel{\text{ meters}}\over d\cancel{\text{ meters}}}\]so the units cancel

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

thanx i gt it but wt about this plz? this is last one! A unitless quantity (a) never has a nonzero dimension, (b) always has a nonzero dimension, (c) may have a nonzero dimension, (d) does not exist.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

if it is unitless then the dimensions \(must\) cancel

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

so is 'a' right??

OpenStudy (turingtest):

right :)

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

thanx a lot:D
