Q79 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (11 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

If force (F), velocity (V) and time (T) are considered as fundamental physical quantity, then dimensional formula of density will be :

  • A
     F V4 T-6
  • Correct answer
    B
    F V-4 T-2
  • C
    F2 V-2 T6
  • D
    F V-2 T2

Solution

The dimensional formula of force is

F=MLT-2

The dimensional formula of velocity is

V=LT-1

The formula for density is 

 Density =ML3=ML-3

Comparing the density dimensions with the assumed fundamental quantities in the question,
ML-3=FxVyTz⇒ML-3=MLT-2xLT-1y[T]z⇒ML-3=MxL(x+y)T-2x-y+z

Comparing the exponents,
x=1   ...(i)x+y=-3   ...(ii)-2x-y+z=0   ...(iii)

Solving equations (i), (ii) & (iii), we get

y=-4, z=-2.

The dimensions of density =FV-4T-2.

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