Check the correctness of the formula f=(...

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.
