If momentum(P)( P ), area (A)( A ) and time (T)( T ) are taken to be the fundamental quantities then the dimensional formula for energy is :

Options

  1. A[P2AT−2]\left[{P}^{2}{AT}^{- 2}\right]
  2. B[PA−1T−1]\left[{PA}^{- 1}{T}^{- 1}\right]
  3. C[PA1/2T−1]\left[{PA}^{1 / 2}{T}^{- 1}\right]
  4. D[P1/2AT−1]\left[{P}^{1 / 2}{AT}^{- 1}\right]

Correct answer

C. [PA1/2T−1]\left[{PA}^{1 / 2}{T}^{- 1}\right]

Step-by-step solution

Let dimension formula of energy will be

E=AaTbPcE = A^{a}T^{b}P^{c}
P=M1L1T−1P = M^{1}L^{1}T^{- 1}
A=L2A = L^{2}
T=T1T = T^{1}
M1L2T−2=MCL2a+cTb−cM^{1}L^{2}T^{- 2} = M^{C}L^{2a + c}T^{b - c}
by comparison C=1.........(1)C = 1......... \left(1\right)
2a+c=2......(2)2a + c = 2...... \left(2\right)
b−c=−2........(3)b - c = - 2........ \left(3\right)
c=1,a=1/2,b=−1c = 1, a = 1 / 2, b = - 1
E=A1/2T−1P1E = A^{1 / 2}T^{- 1}P^{1}
