Which one of the following is a non-dimensional quantity?
-
- Gas constant
- Strain
- Co-efficient of viscocity
- Plank’s constant
- Gas constant
Correct Option: B
A dimensionless quantity is simply a quantity that has no units and therefore no dimensions. A ratio between two numbers is a non-dimensional or dimensionless quantity. Strain which is defined as change in dimension over original dimension has no dimensional formula. So it is a dimensionless quantity.
