The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given expression for \( Y \) and determine the relationship between the units of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) with respect to \( Y \). ### Step 1: Identify the expression for \( Y \) The expression given is: \[ Y = a \sin(\omega t) + bt + ct^2 \cos(\omega t) \] ### Step 2: Determine the dimensions of \( Y \) Since \( Y \) is a function of time, we can assume that it has dimensions of length (L), which is a common assumption in physics unless stated otherwise. Therefore: \[ [Y] = L \] ### Step 3: Analyze the first term \( a \sin(\omega t) \) The term \( \sin(\omega t) \) is dimensionless because trigonometric functions do not have dimensions. Thus, the dimension of \( a \) must be the same as that of \( Y \): \[ [a] = [Y] = L \] ### Step 4: Analyze the second term \( bt \) In this term, \( t \) has dimensions of time (T). Therefore, for the term \( bt \) to have dimensions of length (L), the dimension of \( b \) must be: \[ [b] = \frac{[Y]}{[t]} = \frac{L}{T} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the third term \( ct^2 \cos(\omega t) \) Similar to the first term, \( \cos(\omega t) \) is also dimensionless. Therefore, for the term \( ct^2 \) to have dimensions of length (L), we have: \[ [ct^2] = L \implies [c][t^2] = L \] Since \( t^2 \) has dimensions of \( T^2 \), we can write: \[ [c][T^2] = L \implies [c] = \frac{L}{T^2} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the product \( abc \) Now, we can find the product \( abc \): \[ [abc] = [a][b][c] = (L) \left(\frac{L}{T}\right) \left(\frac{L}{T^2}\right) \] Calculating this gives: \[ [abc] = L \cdot \frac{L}{T} \cdot \frac{L}{T^2} = \frac{L^3}{T^3} \] ### Conclusion The units of \( abc \) are the same as \( \frac{L^3}{T^3} \).
