If η\eta and ρ\rho respectively denote the coefficient of viscosity and the density of a liquid, then the ratio ηρ\dfrac{\eta}{\rho} has the dimensions of:

Options

  1. A[M0L2T−1][M^0 L^2 T^{-1}]
  2. B[M0L−2T1][M^0 L^{-2} T^1]
  3. C[M2L−4T−1][M^2 L^{-4} T^{-1}]
  4. D[M0L2T−2][M^0 L^2 T^{-2}]

Correct answer

A. [M0L2T−1][M^0 L^2 T^{-1}]

Step-by-step solution

The dimensional formula for the coefficient of viscosity η\eta is given by:

η=FA(dvdx)\eta = \dfrac{F}{A \left(\dfrac{dv}{dx}\right)}

[η]=[MLT−2][L2][T−1]=[ML−1T−1][\eta] = \dfrac{[M L T^{-2}]}{[L^2] [T^{-1}]} = [M L^{-1} T^{-1}]

The dimensional formula for density ρ\rho is:

[ρ]=MassVolume=[ML−3][\rho] = \dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} = [M L^{-3}]

The ratio of the coefficient of viscosity to density is:

[η][ρ]=[ML−1T−1][ML−3]=[M0L2T−1]\dfrac{[\eta]}{[\rho]} = \dfrac{[M L^{-1} T^{-1}]}{[M L^{-3}]} = [M^0 L^2 T^{-1}]

Answer: [M0L2T−1][M^0 L^2 T^{-1}]
