The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the dimensional formula for the expression \(\frac{\alpha YZ}{\beta F}\) given the dependencies and definitions provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of each variable**: - \(Y\) represents displacement, so its dimension is: \[ [Y] = L \] - \(F\) represents force, so its dimension is: \[ [F] = MLT^{-2} \] - \(W\) represents work, so its dimension is: \[ [W] = ML^2T^{-2} \] 2. **Determine the dimensions of constants**: - The term \(\sin(\alpha r)\) must be dimensionless, which implies that \(\alpha r\) is dimensionless. Since \(r\) has the dimension of length \(L\), we have: \[ [\alpha] = L^{-1} \] - The term \(e^{\beta r^2}\) is also dimensionless, leading to: \[ [\beta r^2] = 1 \implies [\beta] = L^{-2} \] 3. **Determine the dimension of \(Z\)**: - From the expression \(X = YFe^{-\beta r^2} + ZW \sin(\alpha r)\), we find that both terms must have the same dimension. The dimension of the first term \(YF\) is: \[ [YF] = [Y][F] = L(MLT^{-2}) = ML^2T^{-2} \] - The dimension of the second term \(ZW\) must also equal \(ML^2T^{-2}\): \[ [ZW] = [Z][W] = [Z](ML^2T^{-2}) = ML^2T^{-2} \] - To find the dimension of \(Z\): \[ [Z] = \frac{ML^2T^{-2}}{ML^2T^{-2}} = 1 \implies [Z] = M^0L^0T^0 \] 4. **Substitute dimensions into the expression**: - Now we can substitute the dimensions into the expression \(\frac{\alpha YZ}{\beta F}\): \[ \frac{\alpha YZ}{\beta F} = \frac{[L^{-1}][L][M^0L^0T^0]}{[L^{-2}][MLT^{-2}]} \] 5. **Calculate the dimensions**: - The numerator becomes: \[ [\alpha YZ] = [L^{-1}][L][1] = L^{0} = 1 \] - The denominator becomes: \[ [\beta F] = [L^{-2}][MLT^{-2}] = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \] - Therefore, we have: \[ \frac{1}{ML^{-1}T^{-2}} = M^{-1}L^{1}T^{2} \] 6. **Final Result**: - The dimension of \(\frac{\alpha YZ}{\beta F}\) is: \[ [\frac{\alpha YZ}{\beta F}] = M^{-1}L^{1}T^{2} \]

To solve the problem, we need to determine the dimensional formula for the expression \(\frac{\alpha YZ}{\beta F}\) given the dependencies and definitions provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of each variable**: - \(Y\) represents displacement, so its dimension is: \[ [Y] = L ...
