  1. Which one of the following is a non-dimensional quantity?
    1. Gas constant
    2. Strain
    3. Co-efficient of viscocity
    4. Plank’s 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.
