The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Pressure has the dimensions of energy density." We need to verify if this statement is true. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason provided is that "Energy density = (energy)/(volume)". We will calculate the dimensions of energy density to see if it matches the dimensions of pressure. ### Step 3: Find the Dimensional Formula for Energy The dimensional formula for energy is given by: \[ \text{Energy} = \text{mass} \times \text{(velocity)}^2 = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \] Thus, the dimensional formula for energy is: \[ [E] = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \] ### Step 4: Find the Dimensional Formula for Volume The dimensional formula for volume is: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{length}^3 = [L^3] \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Dimensional Formula for Energy Density Now, we can calculate the dimensional formula for energy density: \[ \text{Energy Density} = \frac{\text{Energy}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{[M][L^2][T^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] So, the dimensional formula for energy density is: \[ [E_D] = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] ### Step 6: Find the Dimensional Formula for Pressure Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The dimensional formula for force is: \[ \text{Force} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration} = [M][L][T^{-2}] \] The dimensional formula for area is: \[ \text{Area} = [L^2] \] Thus, the dimensional formula for pressure is: \[ \text{Pressure} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] ### Step 7: Compare the Dimensional Formulas From the calculations: - The dimensional formula for energy density is \([M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}]\). - The dimensional formula for pressure is also \([M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}]\). ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason yield the same dimensional formula, we can conclude that both the assertion and the reason are correct. Therefore, the answer to the question is that both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
