Q. If the units of mass, length and time are doubled unit of angular momentum will be

A) Doubled
B) Tripled
C) Quadrupled
D) Eight times the original value
Explanation

The dimensions of angular momentum are $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ J = \left\lbrack {ML}^{2}T^{- 1} \right\rbrack$ When units of mass, length and time are doubled, than $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ J^{'} = \left\lbrack 2M(2L)^{2}(2T)^{- 1} \right\rbrack$ $\Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ J^{'} = 4\left\lbrack {ML}^{2}T^{- 1} \right\rbrack = 4\ J$ Unit of angular momentum is quadrupled.
