The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion (A) The assertion states that the relation \( y = a \sin(\omega t) \) cannot be dimensionally achieved. **Explanation:** - In this equation, \( y \) is the displacement, \( a \) is the amplitude, \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, and \( t \) is the time. - The sine function, \( \sin(\omega t) \), is a dimensionless quantity. This means that whatever is inside the sine function must also be dimensionless. ### Step 2: Analyze the Dimensions To analyze the dimensions: - The dimensions of displacement \( y \) is [L] (length). - The dimensions of amplitude \( a \) is also [L]. - The dimensions of angular frequency \( \omega \) is [T\(^{-1}\)] (inverse time). - The dimensions of time \( t \) is [T]. Now, let's look at the term \( \omega t \): - The dimensions of \( \omega t \) are [T\(^{-1}\)] × [T] = dimensionless. ### Step 3: Conclusion on Dimensional Analysis Since \( \sin(\omega t) \) is dimensionless, we cannot relate the dimensions of \( y \) to the dimensions of \( a \) through dimensional analysis. Therefore, the assertion that the relation cannot be dimensionally achieved is correct. ### Step 4: Understand the Reason (R) The reason states that an equation cannot be achieved by dimensional analysis if it contains dimensionless expressions. **Explanation:** - This is true because dimensional analysis relies on the dimensions of the quantities involved. If a term is dimensionless, it does not contribute to the dimensional relationship, making it impossible to derive a meaningful dimensional equation. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are correct, and the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true. ### Summary - Assertion (A) is correct: The relation \( y = a \sin(\omega t) \) cannot be dimensionally achieved. - Reason (R) is correct: An equation cannot be achieved by dimensional analysis if it contains dimensionless expressions.
