The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula of the constant \( B \) in the equation \( v - \frac{A}{t} + Bt^2 + Ct^3 = 0 \), we need to ensure that all terms in the equation have the same dimensions, as they are being added or subtracted. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of velocity \( v \)**: - The dimensional formula for velocity is given by: \[ [v] = \frac{[L]}{[T]} = L^1 T^{-1} \] 2. **Analyze the term \( \frac{A}{t} \)**: - Since \( t \) is time, its dimensional formula is: \[ [t] = T^1 \] - Therefore, the dimensional formula of \( \frac{A}{t} \) is: \[ \left[\frac{A}{t}\right] = \frac{[A]}{[T]} = [A] T^{-1} \] 3. **Analyze the term \( Bt^2 \)**: - The dimensional formula for \( t^2 \) is: \[ [t^2] = T^2 \] - Thus, the dimensional formula of \( Bt^2 \) is: \[ [Bt^2] = [B] T^2 \] 4. **Analyze the term \( Ct^3 \)**: - The dimensional formula for \( t^3 \) is: \[ [t^3] = T^3 \] - Therefore, the dimensional formula of \( Ct^3 \) is: \[ [Ct^3] = [C] T^3 \] 5. **Set the dimensions equal**: - Since all terms must have the same dimensions, we can equate the dimensions of \( Bt^2 \) and \( v \): \[ [B] T^2 = L^1 T^{-1} \] 6. **Solve for the dimensional formula of \( B \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ [B] = \frac{L^1 T^{-1}}{T^2} = L^1 T^{-1 - 2} = L^1 T^{-3} \] 7. **Final result**: - The dimensional formula of \( B \) is: \[ [B] = M^0 L^1 T^{-3} \] ### Conclusion: The dimensional formula of \( B \) is \( M^0 L^1 T^{-3} \). ---
