The correct Answer is:
To find the dimension of the constant \( C \) in the given force equation: \[ F = Av + Bt + \frac{Cx}{At + D} \] we will analyze the dimensions of each term in the equation. ### Step 1: Determine the dimension of force \( F \) The dimension of force \( F \) is given by: \[ [F] = M L T^{-2} \] ### Step 2: Determine the dimension of speed \( v \) Speed \( v \) is defined as distance over time, so its dimension is: \[ [v] = L T^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Determine the dimension of constant \( A \) From the term \( Av \), we have: \[ [A] \cdot [v] = [F] \] Substituting the dimensions we have: \[ [A] \cdot (L T^{-1}) = M L T^{-2} \] Solving for \( [A] \): \[ [A] = \frac{M L T^{-2}}{L T^{-1}} = M T^{-1} \] ### Step 4: Determine the dimension of constant \( B \) From the term \( Bt \), we have: \[ [B] \cdot [t] = [F] \] Substituting the dimensions we have: \[ [B] \cdot T = M L T^{-2} \] Solving for \( [B] \): \[ [B] = \frac{M L T^{-2}}{T} = M L T^{-3} \] ### Step 5: Determine the dimension of position \( x \) The dimension of position \( x \) is simply: \[ [x] = L \] ### Step 6: Analyze the term \( \frac{Cx}{At + D} \) Since \( At + D \) is in the denominator, we need to ensure that the dimensions of \( At + D \) match the dimensions of \( F \) when added. The dimension of \( At \) is: \[ [A] \cdot [t] = (M T^{-1}) \cdot T = M \] Thus, the dimension of \( D \) must also be \( M \) for the addition to be valid. ### Step 7: Set up the equation for \( C \) Now we can analyze the term \( \frac{Cx}{At + D} \): The dimension of \( \frac{Cx}{At + D} \) must equal the dimension of \( F \): \[ \frac{[C] \cdot [x]}{[At + D]} = [F] \] Substituting the dimensions we have: \[ \frac{[C] \cdot L}{M} = M L T^{-2} \] ### Step 8: Solve for the dimension of \( C \) Rearranging gives: \[ [C] \cdot L = M^2 L T^{-2} \] Thus: \[ [C] = \frac{M^2 L T^{-2}}{L} = M^2 T^{-2} \] ### Conclusion The dimension of \( C \) is: \[ [C] = M^2 L^0 T^{-2} \] ### Final Answer The dimension of \( C \) is \( M^2 L^0 T^{-2} \). ---
