On the basis of dimensions, decide which of the following relation for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is not correct :

A

`y= a sin 2pi t"/"T`

B

`y= a sin vt`.

C

`y=(a)/(T) sin (t/a)`

D

`y=a sqrt(2)(sin (2pi t)/(T)-cos (2pi t)/(T))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

In option b and c the arguments of sine are not dimensionless `(vt " and "t"/"a)`. So, options b and c are dimensionally incorrect.
