The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of \( B \) in the equation \( y = At^2 - Bt^3 \), we will use the principle of homogeneity. This principle states that all terms in an equation must have the same dimensions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of \( y \)**: - The position \( y \) is measured in meters. Therefore, the dimension of \( y \) is: \[ [y] = L \] where \( L \) represents length. 2. **Identify the dimensions of \( t \)**: - The time \( t \) is measured in seconds. Therefore, the dimension of \( t \) is: \[ [t] = T \] where \( T \) represents time. 3. **Analyze the term \( At^2 \)**: - The term \( At^2 \) must also have the same dimensions as \( y \). Since \( t^2 \) has dimensions: \[ [t^2] = T^2 \] - Therefore, the dimensions of \( A \) can be expressed as: \[ [A] \cdot [t^2] = L \implies [A] \cdot T^2 = L \implies [A] = \frac{L}{T^2} \] 4. **Analyze the term \( Bt^3 \)**: - Similarly, for the term \( Bt^3 \), we have: \[ [Bt^3] = L \] - The dimensions of \( t^3 \) are: \[ [t^3] = T^3 \] - Therefore, the dimensions of \( B \) can be expressed as: \[ [B] \cdot [t^3] = L \implies [B] \cdot T^3 = L \implies [B] = \frac{L}{T^3} \] 5. **Final result**: - Thus, the dimensions of \( B \) are: \[ [B] = LT^{-3} \] ### Conclusion: The dimensions of \( B \) are \( LT^{-3} \).
