Suppose the dimensional formula for acceleration, velocity length are `alpha beta^(-2), alphabeta^(-1) and alpha gamma`. Then the dimensional formula for the coefficient of friction is

A

`alpha beta gamma`

B

`alpha^(-1)beta^(@)gamma^(@)`

C

`alpha^(@)beta^(-1)gamma^(@)`

D

`alpha^(@)beta^(@)gamma^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Here `[a]=LT^(-2)=alpha beta^(-2),[v]=LT^(-1)=alpha beta^(-1)impliesalpha=L,beta=T,L=alpha gamma," "gamma=L/(alpha)=L/L=1`
Coefficient of friction `mu=F/R=M^(@)L^(@)T^(@)`
Check all the four given expressions and find which one is dimensionless.
