The potential energy of a particle varies with distance xx from fixed a origin as v=(Axx+B)v=\left(\frac{A \sqrt{x}}{x+B}\right); where, AA and BB are constants. The dimensions of ABA B are

Options

  1. A[ML5/2 T−2]\left[\mathrm{ML}^{5 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]
  2. B[ML2 T−2]\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]
  3. C[M3/2 L3/2 T−2]\left[\mathrm{M}^{3 / 2} \mathrm{~L}^{3 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]
  4. D[ML7/2 T−2]\left[\mathrm{ML}^{7 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]

Correct answer

D. [ML7/2 T−2]\left[\mathrm{ML}^{7 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]

Step-by-step solution

Given, v=Axx+Bv=\frac{A \sqrt{x}}{x+B}....(i) Dimensions of v=v= dimensions of potential energy =\left[ML2 T−2\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]FromEq.(i)DimensionsofFrom Eq. (i) Dimensions ofB=dimensionsofdimensions ofx=\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{LT}^0\right] \thereforeDimensionsofDimensions ofA = dimension of v× dimensions of (x+B) dimensions of x=[ML2 T−2][M0LT0][M0 L1/2 T0]=[ML5/2 T−2]\begin{aligned} & =\frac{\text{ dimension of } v \times \text{ dimensions of }(x+B)}{\text{ dimensions of } \sqrt{x}} \\ & =\frac{\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{LT}^0\right]}{\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{~L}^{1 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^0\right]}=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{5 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right] \end{aligned}Hence,dimensionsofHence, dimensions ofA B =\left[\mathrm{ML}^{5 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{LT}^0\right]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{7 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]
