Check the dimensional consistency of the equation, force = `"(Change in Momentum)"/"Time"`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To check the dimensional consistency of the equation \( \text{Force} = \frac{\text{Change in Momentum}}{\text{Time}} \), we will analyze both sides of the equation and compare their dimensions. ### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of Force (LHS) Force is defined as mass times acceleration. The dimensions of mass (M) are represented as \( [M] \), and the dimensions of acceleration are represented as \( [L T^{-2}] \) (since acceleration is the change in velocity over time, and velocity has dimensions of \( [L T^{-1}] \)). Thus, the dimensions of Force can be expressed as: \[ \text{Dimensions of Force} = [M][L T^{-2}] = [M L T^{-2}] ...
