- AThe dimensions of is [L]
- BThe dimensions of is
- CThe dimensions of is [L]
- DThe dimensions of is [T]
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Given equation
-
Use the rule for arguments of trigonometric functions
The arguments of and must be dimensionless.
So, and
Since is dimensionless, we get: and
-
From dimensionless
So option C is correct.
-
From dimensionless
So option A is correct.
-
Find dimensions of
Since and ,
So option B is correct.
-
Find dimensions of
But option D says the dimensions of is , which is wrong.
-
Conclusion
The statement which is NOT correct is:
