Cheak the correctness of the equation `FS =(1)/(2) m upsilon^2 -(1)mu^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Correct

`LHS = FS = [MLT^(-2)][L] = [M^1L^2T^(-2)]`
`RHS = (1)/(2)m upsilon^2 -(1)/(2)mu^2`
`=M(LT^(-1))^2 - M(LT^(-1))^2`
`=M(LT^(-1))^2 = [M^1L^2T^(-2)]`
As dimensions on LHS = dimensions on RHS,
therefore, formula is correct dimensionally.
