A student writes four different expression for the displacement `y` in a period motion
`y = a sin"(2 pi r)/(T)`
`y = a sin vt`
`y = (a)/(t) sin"(t)/(a)`
`y = (a )/(sqrt(2))[sin'(2 pi r)/(T)+ cos '(2 pi r)/(T)]`
where `a` is maximum displacement , x is the speed and T is the time period then dimensionally.

A

1 and 2 are wrong

B

2 and 3 are wrong

C

3 and 4 are wrong

D

4 and 1 are wrong

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Since LHS is displacement, so RHS should have dimensions of displacementAlso argument of a trigonomentric function should be dimensions in equation (2) argamant is not dimensions and in equation (3) `a//T` has not the dimensions of displacement.

A book with many printing errors contains four different forumlae for the displacement y of a particle undergoing a certain periodic motion : (i) y = a sin (2pi t)/(T) (ii) y = a sin upsilon t (iii) y = (a)/(T) sin (t)/(a) (iv) y= (a)/(sqrt2)[sin(2pi t)/(T) + cos (2pi t)/(T)] Here, a is maximum displacement of particle, upsilon is speed of particle, T is time period of motion. Rule out the wrong forumlae on dimensinal grounds.
