The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula of force when area (A), velocity (v), and density (ρ) are considered as base units, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Assume the relationship**: We start by assuming that force (F) can be expressed as a product of area (A), velocity (v), and density (ρ) raised to some powers: \[ F = A^x \cdot v^y \cdot \rho^z \] 2. **Write the dimensions of each quantity**: - The dimension of force (F) is given by: \[ [F] = MLT^{-2} \] - The dimension of area (A) is: \[ [A] = L^2 \] - The dimension of velocity (v) is: \[ [v] = LT^{-1} \] - The dimension of density (ρ) is: \[ [\rho] = ML^{-3} \] 3. **Substitute the dimensions into the equation**: Now we substitute the dimensions into our assumed equation: \[ [F] = [A^x] \cdot [v^y] \cdot [\rho^z] \] This gives us: \[ MLT^{-2} = (L^2)^x \cdot (LT^{-1})^y \cdot (ML^{-3})^z \] 4. **Expand the right-hand side**: Expanding the right-hand side, we get: \[ MLT^{-2} = M^z \cdot L^{2x} \cdot L^y \cdot T^{-y} \cdot L^{-3z} \] Combining the terms, we have: \[ MLT^{-2} = M^z \cdot L^{2x + y - 3z} \cdot T^{-y} \] 5. **Compare the powers of M, L, and T**: Now we compare the coefficients of M, L, and T on both sides: - For mass (M): \[ z = 1 \] - For length (L): \[ 2x + y - 3z = 1 \] - For time (T): \[ -y = -2 \implies y = 2 \] 6. **Substitute known values**: We already found \( z = 1 \) and \( y = 2 \). Now substitute \( z \) into the length equation: \[ 2x + 2 - 3(1) = 1 \implies 2x + 2 - 3 = 1 \implies 2x - 1 = 1 \implies 2x = 2 \implies x = 1 \] 7. **Final expression for force**: Now that we have \( x = 1 \), \( y = 2 \), and \( z = 1 \), we can write the expression for force: \[ F = A^1 \cdot v^2 \cdot \rho^1 = A \cdot v^2 \cdot \rho \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the dimensional formula of force can be represented as: \[ F = A \cdot v^2 \cdot \rho \]
