Q17 / 92 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Units and Dimensions
If velocity, force and time are taken as the fundamental quantities, then using dimensional analysis choose the correct dimensional formula for mass among the following. is a dimensionless constant
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
Let the quantity be Q, then,
Assuming that the function is the product of power functions of and ,
where K is a dimensionless constant of proportionality. The above equation dimensionally becomes
i.e., , Now
Q = mass i.e.,
So Equation (ii) becomes
its dimensional correctness requires
and
which on solving yields
and
Substituting it in Equation (i), we get
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
