The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation and the units of the variables involved. The equation provided is: \[ y = x^2 \cos^2(2\pi \beta \gamma) / \alpha \] We are given the units of \( x \), \( \alpha \), and \( \beta \) as follows: - \( x \): meters (m) - \( \alpha \): \( s^{-1} \) (per second) - \( \beta \): \( (ms^{-1})^{-1} \) (reciprocal of meters per second) ### Step 1: Determine the units of \( \gamma \) From the equation, we see that the argument of the cosine function, \( 2\pi \beta \gamma \), must be dimensionless because cosine is a function that operates on angles, which are dimensionless quantities (measured in radians). Therefore, the product \( \beta \gamma \) must also be dimensionless. Given that: - The unit of \( \beta \) is \( (ms^{-1})^{-1} = s/m \) We can express \( \gamma \) in terms of \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \): \[ \gamma = \frac{\text{dimensionless}}{\beta} = \frac{\alpha}{\beta} \] Now substituting the units: - The unit of \( \alpha \) is \( s^{-1} \) - The unit of \( \beta \) is \( s/m \) Thus, the unit of \( \gamma \) can be calculated as: \[ \text{Unit of } \gamma = \frac{s^{-1}}{s/m} = \frac{m}{s^2} \] So, the unit of \( \gamma \) is \( m \cdot s^{-2} \). ### Step 2: Determine the units of \( y \) Now we need to find the units of \( y \). From the equation, we have: \[ y = x^2 \cos^2(2\pi \beta \gamma) / \alpha \] Since \( \cos^2(2\pi \beta \gamma) \) is dimensionless, we can ignore its contribution to the units. Thus, we can focus on the remaining part: \[ y = \frac{x^2}{\alpha} \] Substituting the units: - The unit of \( x^2 \) is \( (m)^2 = m^2 \) - The unit of \( \alpha \) is \( s^{-1} \) Now we can calculate the unit of \( y \): \[ \text{Unit of } y = \frac{m^2}{s^{-1}} = m^2 \cdot s \] Thus, the unit of \( y \) is \( m^2 \cdot s \). ### Final Answer - The unit of \( y \) is \( m^2 \cdot s \). - The unit of \( \gamma \) is \( m \cdot s^{-2} \).
