JEE MainPhysicsUnits and MeasurementsMCQ+4 / −1
A force is represented by F=ax2+bt12F=a x^2+b t^{\frac{1}{2}}F=ax2+bt21​ where x=x=x= distance and t=t=t= time. The dimensions of b2/ab^2 / ab2/a are:
  1. A
    [ML2 T−3]\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-3}\right][ML2 T−3]
  2. B
    [ML3 T−3]\left[\mathrm{ML}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-3}\right][ML3 T−3]

Correct answer: B

  1. Write the given relation

    F=ax2+bt1/2F=ax^2+b t^{1/2}F=ax2+bt1/2

    Since both terms are added, each term must have the dimensions of force.

    [F]=[MLT−2][F]=[MLT^{-2}][F]=[MLT−2]

  2. Find dimensions of aaa

    From ax2exthasdimensionsofforceax^2 ext{ has dimensions of force}ax2exthasdimensionsofforce

    Since [x]=[L],[x]=[L],[x]=[L], we get [a][L2]=[MLT−2][a][L^2]=[MLT^{-2}][a][L2]=[MLT−2]

    Therefore, [a]=[ML−1T−2][a]=[ML^{-1}T^{-2}][a]=[ML−1T−2]

  3. Find dimensions of bbb

    From bt1/2exthasdimensionsofforceb t^{1/2} ext{ has dimensions of force}bt1/2exthasdimensionsofforce

    Since [t1/2]=[T1/2],[t^{1/2}]=[T^{1/2}],[t1/2]=[T1/2], we get [b][T1/2]=[MLT−2][b][T^{1/2}]=[MLT^{-2}][b][T1/2]=[MLT−2]

    Therefore, [b]=[MLT−5/2][b]=[MLT^{-5/2}][b]=[MLT−5/2]

  4. Find dimensions of b2/ab^2/ab2/a

    First, [b2]=[M2L2T−5][b^2]=[M^2L^2T^{-5}][b2]=[M2L2T−5]

    Now divide by [a][a][a]: [b2a]=[M2L2T−5][ML−1T−2]\left[\frac{b^2}{a}\right]=\frac{[M^2L^2T^{-5}]}{[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]}[ab2​]=[ML−1T−2][M2L2T−5]​

    [b2a]=[ML3T−3]\left[\frac{b^2}{a}\right]=[ML^3T^{-3}][ab2​]=[ML3T−3]

  5. Match with options

    [ML3T−3][ML^3T^{-3}][ML3T−3] corresponds to Option B.

  6. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: B

    Derived answer: B

    Hence, they agree.
