Correct answer: A
- Write dimensions of the given fundamental quantities
We take surface tension , moment of inertia , and Planck's constant as fundamental quantities.
Their dimensions in terms of are:
-
Surface tension:
-
Moment of inertia:
-
Planck's constant:
- Write dimensions of linear momentum
Linear momentum has dimensions:
- Assume momentum in terms of
Let
Substitute the dimensions:
Expanding,
- Compare powers of
So we get the equations:
- For :
- For :
- For :
- Solve the equations
From we get
From we get
Now use Substitute :
Then from
Now
Thus,
- Match with options
This corresponds to:
Option A:
Final Answer
So, Option A is correct.
