If mass is written as m = k c P G 1 / 2 h 1 / 2 then the value of P will be : (Constants have their usual meaning with k a dimensionless constant)

A. 1/3

B. 1/3

C. 1/2

D. 2

Correct option is (C)

m = kc P G 1 / 2   h 1 / 2 M 1   L 0   T 0 = [ LT 1 ] P [ M 1   L 3   T 2 ] 1 / 2 [ ML 2   T 1 ] 1 / 2

By comparing P = 1 / 2

The speed of a wave produced in water is given by v = λ a g b ρ c . Where λ , g and ρ are wavelength of wave, acceleration due to gravity and density of water respectively. The values of a , b and c respectively, are :

(A) 1 2 , 0 , 1 2

(B) 1 , 1 , 0

(C) 1 , 1 , 0

(D) 1 2 , 1 2 , 0

Correct answer is (D)

v = λ a g b ρ c using dimension formula [ M 0   L 1   T 1 ] = [ L 1 ] a [ L 1   T 2 ] b [ M 1   L 3 ] c [ M 0   L 1   T 1 ] = [ M c L a + b c T 2   b ] c = 0 , a + b 3 c = 1 , 2   b = 1 b = 1 2  Now  a + b 3 c = 1 a + 1 2 0 = 1 a = 1 2 a = 1 2 ,   b = 1 2 , c = 0

In the equation [ X + a Y 2 ] [ Y b ] = R T , X is pressure, Y is volume, R is universal gas constant and T is temperature. The physical quantity equivalent to the ratio a b is:

(A) Impulse

(B) Energy

(C) Pressure gradient

(D) Coefficient of viscosity

Correct answer is (B)

Given that, [ X + a Y 2 ] [ Y b ] = R T

X and a Y 2 have the same dimensions and Y and b have the same dimensions, let's analyze the dimensions of a b .

Since X represents pressure, it has dimensions of [ M L 1 T 2 ] .

Since X and a Y 2 have the same dimensions, we have:

[ a Y 2 ] = [ M L 1 T 2 ]

Then, the dimensions of a are:

[ a ] = [ M L 1 T 2 ] [ Y 2 ] = [ M L 5 T 2 ]

Now, since Y and b have the same dimensions and Y represents volume, we have:

[ b ] = [ L 3 ]

Now, let's find the dimensions of the ratio a b :

[ a ] [ b ] = [ M L 5 T 2 ] [ L 3 ] = [ M L 2 T 2 ]

Indeed, the dimensions of a b are [ M L 2 T 2 ] , which corresponds to the dimensions of energy.

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

(A) FV 2   T 2

(B) FV 4   T 6

(C) F 2   V 2   T 6

(D) FV 4   T 2

Correct answer is (D)

We know that force (F) has dimensions of MLT 2 , velocity (V) has dimensions of LT 1 , and time (T) has dimensions of T . To express density ( ρ ), which has dimensions of ML 3 , in terms of F, V, and T, we need to find the exponents of F, V, and T.

Let the dimensions of density be expressed as:

[ M ] a [ L ] b [ T ] c

Substituting the dimensions of F, V, and T:

[ F ] a [ V ] b [ T ] c = ( MLT 2 ) a ( LT 1 ) b ( T ) c

Since density has dimensions of ML 3 , we can set up the following equations:

a = 1 (for the mass term M)

a + b = 3 (for the length term L)

2 a b + c = 0 (for the time term T)

Solving these equations, we get:

a = 1

b = 4

c = 2

Thus, the dimensional formula of density in terms of F, V, and T is:

FV 4 T 2

If the velocity of light c , universal gravitational constant G and Planck's constant h are chosen as fundamental quantities. The dimensions of mass in the new system is :

(A) [ h 1 c 1 G 1 ]

(B) [ h 1 / 2 c 1 / 2 G 1 / 2 ]

(C) [ h 1 / 2 c 1 / 2 G 1 / 2 ]

(D) [ h 1 / 2 c 1 / 2 G 1 ]

Correct answer is (C)

[ M ] = [ G ] x [ h ] y [ c ] z [ M ] = [ M 1   L 3   T 2 ] x [ ML 2   T 1 ] y [ LT 1 ] z [ M 1   L 0   T 0 ] = [ M x + y ] [ L 3 x + 2 y + z ] [ T 2 x y z ] y x = 1 . . . . . . ( 1 ) 3 x + 2 y + z = 0 . . . . . . . ( 2 ) 2 x y z = 0 . . . . . . . . ( 3 )

On solving, x = 1 2 , y = 1 2 , z = 1 2
