Correct answer: C

  1. Recall the definition of angular impulse

    Angular impulse is the product of torque and time: Angular impulse=τ×t\text{Angular impulse} = \tau \times tAngular impulse=τ×t

    It is also equal to the change in angular momentum.

  2. Write the dimensional formula of torque

    Torque is: τ=force×distance\tau = \text{force} \times \text{distance}τ=force×distance

    Dimensional formula of force: [F]=[MLT−2][F] = [M L T^{-2}][F]=[MLT−2]

    Therefore, [τ]=[MLT−2]×[L]=[ML2T−2][\tau] = [M L T^{-2}] \times [L] = [M L^2 T^{-2}][τ]=[MLT−2]×[L]=[ML2T−2]

  3. Multiply by time

    Since angular impulse = torque ×\times× time, [angular impulse]=[ML2T−2]×[T]=[ML2T−1][\text{angular impulse}] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] \times [T] = [M L^2 T^{-1}][angular impulse]=[ML2T−2]×[T]=[ML2T−1]

  4. Match with the options

    [ML2T−1][M L^2 T^{-1}][ML2T−1] corresponds to Option C.

  5. Verification using angular momentum

    Angular impulse = change in angular momentum.

    Angular momentum: L=mvrL = mvrL=mvr

    So, [L]=[M][LT−1][L]=[ML2T−1][L] = [M] [L T^{-1}] [L] = [M L^2 T^{-1}][L]=[M][LT−1][L]=[ML2T−1]

    This confirms the same result.

Final Answer: Option C
