Correct answer: C

  1. Write dimensions of each quantity

    We use:

    • Moment of inertia: [I]=ML2[I] = M L^2[I]=ML2
    • Force: [F]=MLT−2[F] = M L T^{-2}[F]=MLT−2
    • Velocity: [v]=LT−1[v] = L T^{-1}[v]=LT−1
    • Work: [W]=ML2T−2[W] = M L^2 T^{-2}[W]=ML2T−2
    • Length: [L]=L[L] = L[L]=L
  2. Given quantity

    The quantity is x=IFv2WL4x = \frac{IFv^2}{WL^4}x=WL4IFv2​

  3. Find dimensions of numerator

    [IFv2]=[I][F][v]2[IFv^2] = [I][F][v]^2[IFv2]=[I][F][v]2

    Now, [v]2=(LT−1)2=L2T−2[v]^2 = (L T^{-1})^2 = L^2 T^{-2}[v]2=(LT−1)2=L2T−2

    So, [IFv2]=(ML2)(MLT−2)(L2T−2)[IFv^2] = (M L^2)(M L T^{-2})(L^2 T^{-2})[IFv2]=(ML2)(MLT−2)(L2T−2) =M2L5T−4= M^2 L^5 T^{-4}=M2L5T−4

  4. Find dimensions of denominator

    [WL4]=[W][L]4[WL^4] = [W][L]^4[WL4]=[W][L]4 =(ML2T−2)(L4)= (M L^2 T^{-2})(L^4)=(ML2T−2)(L4) =ML6T−2= M L^6 T^{-2}=ML6T−2

  5. Find dimensions of xxx

    [x]=M2L5T−4ML6T−2[x] = \frac{M^2 L^5 T^{-4}}{M L^6 T^{-2}}[x]=ML6T−2M2L5T−4​ =M2−1L5−6T−4−(−2)= M^{2-1} L^{5-6} T^{-4-(-2)}=M2−1L5−6T−4−(−2) =ML−1T−2= M L^{-1} T^{-2}=ML−1T−2

  6. Compare with given options

    A: Coefficient of viscosity

    [η]=ML−1T−1[\eta] = M L^{-1} T^{-1}[η]=ML−1T−1 Not same.

    B: Force constant

    From F=kxF = kxF=kx, [k]=[F][x]=MLT−2L=MT−2[k] = \frac{[F]}{[x]} = \frac{M L T^{-2}}{L} = M T^{-2}[k]=[x][F]​=LMLT−2​=MT−2 Not same.

    C: Energy density

    Energy density = energy/volume ML2T−2L3=ML−1T−2\frac{M L^2 T^{-2}}{L^3} = M L^{-1} T^{-2}L3ML2T−2​=ML−1T−2 Same.

    D: Planck's constant

    [h]=energy×time=ML2T−1[h] = \text{energy} \times \text{time} = M L^2 T^{-1}[h]=energy×time=ML2T−1 Not same.

  7. Final answer

    The dimensional formula of xxx matches energy density.

    Hence, the correct option is C.
