Check the correctness of the formula `f = (mv^2)/(r^2)` where f is force , m is mass , v is velocity and r is radius.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Dimensionally , LHS= `[MLT^(-2)]`
RHS `=[M] [LT^(-1)]^2 //[L]^2 = [ML^(-1)T^(-2)]`
Since , the dimensions of both sides are not same, the formula is not correct physically.
