The correct Answer is:
To find the dimension of the new quantity named "CHIGS," we will analyze the given information step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Proportional Relationships 1. **Given Information:** - CHIGS is proportional to the mass of the object (m) when velocity (v) is constant. - CHIGS is proportional to the kinetic energy of the object (KE) when mass is constant. ### Step 2: Analyzing the First Relationship 2. **From the first relationship:** - If CHIGS (let's denote it as \( C \)) is proportional to mass \( m \) when velocity is constant, we can express this as: \[ C \propto m \] - This implies that: \[ C = k_1 \cdot m \] where \( k_1 \) is a proportionality constant. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Second Relationship 3. **From the second relationship:** - Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - If CHIGS is proportional to kinetic energy when mass is constant, we can express this as: \[ C \propto KE \] - Therefore, we can write: \[ C = k_2 \cdot KE \] where \( k_2 \) is another proportionality constant. ### Step 4: Combining the Relationships 4. **Combining the two relationships:** - From the first relationship, we have \( C = k_1 \cdot m \). - From the second relationship, substituting for kinetic energy, we have: \[ C = k_2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} mv^2\right) \] - Setting these equal gives: \[ k_1 \cdot m = k_2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} mv^2\right) \] ### Step 5: Simplifying the Equation 5. **Simplifying the equation:** - We can cancel \( m \) from both sides (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)): \[ k_1 = k_2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} v^2 \] - This shows that \( C \) depends on both mass and velocity. ### Step 6: Finding the Dimensions 6. **Finding the dimensions of CHIGS:** - The dimension of mass \( [m] \) is \( M \). - The dimension of velocity \( [v] \) is \( LT^{-1} \). - The kinetic energy \( [KE] \) has dimensions of \( [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \). - Therefore, we can express CHIGS in terms of its dimensions: \[ C \propto m \cdot v^2 \] - Thus, the dimensions of CHIGS can be expressed as: \[ [C] = [M] \cdot [L^2][T^{-2}] = M \cdot (LT^{-1})^2 = M \cdot L^2 T^{-2} \] ### Final Answer The dimension of the quantity CHIGS is: \[ [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \]
