Assuming force, length, and time to be the fundamental quantities,...
Assuming force, length, and time to be the fundamental quantities, determine the dimensions of energy.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work, and work is the product of force and displacement.
Therefore, the dimensional formula for energy can be written as:
Substituting the fundamental quantities given in the problem, where force is and length (displacement) is :
Therefore, the dimensional formula for energy can be written as:
Substituting the fundamental quantities given in the problem, where force is and length (displacement) is :
