Question:

If momentum $ (P)$, area $(A)$ and time $(T)$ are taken to be the fundamental quantities then the dimensional formula for energy is :

Updated On: Jul 15, 2024
  • $\left[ PA ^{-1} T ^{-2}\right]$
  • $\left[ PA ^{1 / 2} T ^{-1}\right]$
  • $\left[ P ^{2} AT ^{-2}\right]$
  • $ \left[ P ^{1 / 2} AT ^{-1}\right]$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Let $[ E ]=[ P ]^{ x }[ A ]^{ y }[ T ]^{ z }$
$ML ^{2} T ^{-2}=\left[ MLT ^{-1}\right]^{ x }\left[ L ^{2}\right]^{ y }[ T ]^{z}$
$ML ^{2} T ^{-2}= M ^{ x } L ^{ x +2 y } T ^{- x +2}$
$\rightarrow x =1$
$\rightarrow x +2 y =2$
$1+2 y =2$
$y =\frac{1}{2}$
$\rightarrow- x + z =-2$
$-1+ z =-2$
$z =-1$
$[ E ]=\left[ PA ^{1 / 2} T ^{-1}\right]$

Physical World

The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:

  • Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
  • Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
  • Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
  • Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
