A physical quantity X depends on another...

A physical quantity X depends on another physical quantities as `X=YFe^(-beta r^(2))+ZW sin (alpha r)` where r, F and W represents distance, force and work respectively & Y and Z are unknown physical quantities and `alpha, beta` are positive contsnats.
If Z represent frequency then choose the correct alternative

A

The dimension of X is `[ML^(1) T^(-3)]`

B

The dimension of Y is `[M^(0)LT^(-1)]`

C

The dimension of `beta` is `[M^(0)L^(-1)T^(0)]`

D

The dimension of `alpha` is `[M^(0)L^(1) T^(0)]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

If `D(Z)=T^(-1)`. Then `D(Y)=?`
from equation (ii) : `D(X)=[T^(-1)ML^(2)T^(-2)]=[ML^(2)T^(-3)]`
So from equation (i) : `D(Y)=(D(X))/(D(F))=[(ML^(2)T^(-3))/(MLT^(-2))]=[LT^(-1)]`

A physical quantity is a phyical property of a phenomenon , body, or substance , that can be quantified by measurement. The magnitude of the components of a vector are to be considered dimensionally distinct. For example , rather than an undifferentiated length unit L, we may represent length in the x direction as L_(x) , and so forth. This requirement status ultimately from the requirement that each component of a physically meaningful equation (scaler or vector) must be dimensionally consistent . As as example , suppose we wish to calculate the drift S of a swimmer crossing a river flowing with velocity V_(x) and of widht D and he is swimming in direction perpendicular to the river flow with velocity V_(y) relation to river, assuming no use of directed lengths, the quantities of interest are then V_(x),V_(y) both dimensioned as (L)/(T) , S the drift and D width of river both having dimension L. with these four quantities, we may conclude tha the equation for the drift S may be written : S prop V_(x)^(a)V_(y)^(b)D^(c) Or dimensionally L=((L)/(T))^(a+b)xx(L)^(c) from which we may deduce that a+b+c=1 and a+b=0, which leaves one of these exponents undetermined. If, however, we use directed length dimensions, then V_(x) will be dimensioned as (L_(x))/(T), V_(y) as (L_(y))/(T), S as L_(x)" and " D as L_(y) . The dimensional equation becomes : L_(x)=((L_(x))/(T))^(a) ((L_(y))/(T))^(b)(L_(y))^(c) and we may solve completely as a=1,b=-1 and c=1. The increase in deductive power gained by the use of directed length dimensions is apparent. From the concept of directed dimension what is the formula for a range (R) of a cannon ball when it is fired with vertical velocity component V_(y) and a horizontal velocity component V_(x) , assuming it is fired on a flat surface. [Range also depends upon acceleration due to gravity , g and k is numerical constant]

A physical quantity rho is calculated by using the formula rho =(1)/(10)(xy^(2))/(z^(1//3)) , where x, y and z are experimentally measured quantities. If the fractional error in the measurement of x, y and z are 2%, 1% and 3% , respectively, then the maximum fractional error in the calculation of rho is
