If force [F][ F ], acceleration [A][ A ] and time [T][ T ] are chosen as the fundamental physical quantities. Find the dimensions of energy.

Options

  1. A[F][A][T][ F ] [ A ] [ T ]
  2. B[F][A][T2][ F ] [ A ] \left[{T}^{2}\right]
  3. C[F][A][T−1][ F ] [ A ] \left[{T}^{- 1}\right]
  4. D[F][A−1][T][ F ] \left[{A}^{- 1}\right] [ T ]

Correct answer

B. [F][A][T2][ F ] [ A ] \left[{T}^{2}\right]

Step-by-step solution

Let consider,

[Energy]=[F]a[A]b[T]c[ Energy ] = [ F{]}^{a} [ A{]}^{b} [ T{]}^{c}

Now put the dimensional formula of the given quantities,

\left[{ML}^{2}{T}^{- 2}\right] = {\left[{MLT}^{- 2}\right]}^{a}{\left[{LT}^{- 2}\right]}^{b} [ T{]}^{c}</p><p>[ML2T−2]=[MaLa+bT−2a−2b+c]</p><p>\left[{ML}^{2}{T}^{- 2}\right] = \left[{M}^{a}{L}^{a + b}{T}^{- 2a - 2b + c}\right]

On comparing powers of [M][ M ]

a=1a = 1

On comparing powers of [L][ L ]

a+b=2a + b = 2

⇒1+b=2⇒ 1 + b = 2

⇒b=1⇒ b = 1

On comparing powers of [T][ T ]

−2a−2b+c=−2- 2a - 2b + c = - 2

⇒−2−2+c=−2⇒ - 2 - 2 + c = - 2

⇒c=2⇒ c = 2

$[ Energy ] = [ F ] [ A ] \left[{T}^{2}\right]
