The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of the constants \( \alpha \), \( \beta \), and \( \gamma \) in the equation for velocity given by: \[ v = \alpha t + \frac{\beta}{t + \gamma} \] we will analyze each term in the equation step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of velocity The dimension of velocity \( v \) is given by: \[ [v] = L T^{-1} \] where \( L \) represents length and \( T \) represents time. ### Step 2: Analyze the term \( \alpha t \) In the term \( \alpha t \), the dimensions must match the dimensions of velocity. Therefore, we can write: \[ [v] = [\alpha][t] \] Substituting the known dimensions: \[ L T^{-1} = [\alpha] \cdot [T] \] To isolate \( [\alpha] \), we rearrange the equation: \[ [\alpha] = \frac{L T^{-1}}{[T]} = L T^{-2} \] Thus, the dimension of \( \alpha \) is: \[ [\alpha] = L T^{-2} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the term \( \frac{\beta}{t + \gamma} \) For the term \( \frac{\beta}{t + \gamma} \) to have the same dimensions as velocity, we need to analyze the dimensions of \( \beta \). Since \( t \) has dimensions of time \( [T] \) and \( \gamma \) also has dimensions of time \( [T] \), the term \( t + \gamma \) has dimensions of time \( [T] \). Thus, we can write: \[ [v] = \frac{[\beta]}{[T]} \] Substituting the dimensions of velocity: \[ L T^{-1} = \frac{[\beta]}{[T]} \] Rearranging gives: \[ [\beta] = L T^{-1} \cdot [T] = L \] So, the dimension of \( \beta \) is: \[ [\beta] = L \] ### Step 4: Analyze the dimension of \( \gamma \) Since \( \gamma \) is added to \( t \) in the term \( t + \gamma \), it must have the same dimensions as time. Therefore: \[ [\gamma] = [T] \] ### Summary of dimensions We have found the dimensions of \( \alpha \), \( \beta \), and \( \gamma \): - \( [\alpha] = L T^{-2} \) - \( [\beta] = L \) - \( [\gamma] = T \) ### Final Answer The dimensions of \( \alpha \), \( \beta \), and \( \gamma \) are respectively: \[ [\alpha] = L T^{-2}, \quad [\beta] = L, \quad [\gamma] = T \]
