If the speed of light c, acceleration due to gravity (g) and pressure (p) are taken as the fundamental quantities then the dimension of gravitational constant is

A

`c^2g^0p^-2`

B

`c^0g^2p^-1`

C

`cg^3p^-2`

D

`c^-1g^0p^-1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Let `[G]propc^xg^yp^z`
by substituting the following dimensions:
`[G]=[M^-1L^3T^-2]`,`[c]=[LT^-1]`,`[g]=[LT^-2]`
and by conparing the power of both sides we cen get `x=0`,`y=2`,`z=-1`
`[G]propc^0g^2p^-1`
