Q96 / 200 · NEET 2021 · Physics

If force [F], acceleration [A] and time [T] are chosen as the fundamental physical quantities. Find the dimensions of energy.

  • A
    [F][A][T]
  • Correct answer
    B
    [F][A]T2
  • C
    [F][A]T-1
  • D
    [F]A-1[T]

Solution

Let consider,

[Energy]=[F]a[A]b[T]c

Now put the dimensional formula of the given quantities,

ML2T-2=MLT-2aLT-2b[T]c

ML2T-2=MaLa+bT-2a-2b+c

On comparing powers of [M]

a=1

On comparing powers of [L]

a+b=2

⇒1+b=2

⇒b=1

On comparing powers of [T]

-2 a-2 b+c=-2

⇒-2-2+c=-2

⇒c=2

[ Energy ]=[F][A]T2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
