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

Options

  1. AFV4T−6F{V}^{4}{T}^{- 6}
  2. BFV−4T−2F{V}^{- 4}{T}^{- 2}
  3. CF2V−2T6{F}^{2}{V}^{- 2}{T}^{6}
  4. DFV−2T2F{V}^{- 2}{T}^{2}

Correct answer

B. FV−4T−2F{V}^{- 4}{T}^{- 2}

Step-by-step solution

The dimensional formula of force is

F=MLT−2F = ML{T}^{- 2}

The dimensional formula of velocity is

V=LT−1V = L{T}^{- 1}

The formula for density is

Density =ML3=ML−3= \dfrac{M}{{L}^{3}} = M{L}^{- 3}

Comparing the density dimensions with the assumed fundamental quantities in the question,
ML−3=[F]x[V]y[T]z⇒ML−3=[MLT−2]x[LT−1]y[T]z⇒ML−3=MxL(x+y)T−2x−y+zM{L}^{- 3} = {\left[F\right]}^{x}{\left[V\right]}^{y}{\left[T\right]}^{z} ⇒ M{L}^{- 3} = {\left[ML{T}^{- 2}\right]}^{x}{\left[L{T}^{- 1}\right]}^{y} [ T{]}^{z} ⇒ M{L}^{- 3} = {M}^{x}{L}^{( x + y )}{T}^{- 2x - y + z}

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

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

y=−4,z=−2y = - 4, z = - 2.

The dimensions of density =FV−4T−2= F{V}^{- 4}{T}^{- 2}.
