If the dimensions of a physical quantity are given by `M^(a)L^(b)T^(c)`, then the physical quantity will be :

A

Velocity if `a=1, b=0, c= -1`

B

Acceleration if `a=1, b=1, c= -2`

C

Force if `a=0, b= -1, c= -2`

D

Pressure if `a=1, b= -1, c= -2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`P=(F)/(A)=[ML^(-1)T^(-2)] implies [M]^(a)[L]^(b)[T]^(c )`
`a=1, b=-1, c= -2`
