The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given expression for the physical quantity \(X\) and determine the dimensions of the various components involved. The equation given is: \[ X = YFe^{-\beta r^2} + ZW \sin(\alpha r) \] where: - \(r\) is distance, - \(F\) is force, - \(W\) is work, - \(Y\) and \(Z\) are unknown physical quantities, - \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are positive constants. ### Step 1: Determine the dimensions of \(X\) Since \(X\) is expressed as the sum of two terms, both terms must have the same dimensions. Therefore, we can analyze each term separately. ### Step 2: Analyze the first term \(YFe^{-\beta r^2}\) 1. **Dimensions of Force \(F\)**: \[ [F] = M L T^{-2} \] 2. **Dimensions of \(e^{-\beta r^2}\)**: The exponential function is dimensionless. Therefore, the dimensions of \(\beta r^2\) must also be dimensionless. This implies: \[ [\beta] [r^2] = M^0 L^0 T^0 \] Since \(r\) has dimensions of length \([r] = L\), we have: \[ [r^2] = L^2 \implies [\beta] = L^{-2} \] 3. **Combining dimensions**: Thus, the dimensions of the first term \(YFe^{-\beta r^2}\) can be expressed as: \[ [Y][F] = [Y](M L T^{-2}) \implies [Y] = \frac{[X]}{M L T^{-2}} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the second term \(ZW \sin(\alpha r)\) 1. **Dimensions of Work \(W\)**: \[ [W] = M L^2 T^{-2} \] 2. **Dimensions of \(\sin(\alpha r)\)**: The sine function is also dimensionless, which means \(\alpha r\) must be dimensionless: \[ [\alpha][r] = M^0 L^0 T^0 \implies [\alpha] = L^{-1} \] 3. **Combining dimensions**: Thus, the dimensions of the second term \(ZW \sin(\alpha r)\) can be expressed as: \[ [Z][W] = [Z](M L^2 T^{-2}) \implies [Z] = \frac{[X]}{M L^2 T^{-2}} \] ### Step 4: Equate dimensions of both terms Since both terms must have the same dimensions, we can equate the dimensions of \(X\) from both terms: 1. From the first term: \[ [X] = [Y](M L T^{-2}) \] 2. From the second term: \[ [X] = [Z](M L^2 T^{-2}) \] ### Step 5: Determine the dimension of \(Z\) given it represents frequency Given that \(Z\) represents frequency, we know: \[ [Z] = T^{-1} \] ### Step 6: Substitute and solve for dimensions of \(X\) Substituting \(Z\) into the equation for dimensions: \[ [X] = T^{-1}(M L^2 T^{-2}) = M L^2 T^{-3} \] ### Step 7: Conclusion The dimensions of \(X\) can be expressed as: \[ [X] = M L^2 T^{-3} \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given expression for the physical quantity \(X\) and determine the dimensions of the various components involved. The equation given is: \[ X = YFe^{-\beta r^2} + ZW \sin(\alpha r) \] ...
