The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the physical quantities A and B given their dimensional formulas for the product and quotient. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write down the given dimensional formulas:** - For the product \( AB \): \[ [AB] = [ML^2T^{-2}] \] - For the quotient \( \frac{A}{B} \): \[ \left[\frac{A}{B}\right] = [MT^{-2}] \] 2. **Assign the dimensions of A and B:** - Let the dimension of \( A \) be \( [A] = [M^a L^b T^c] \) - Let the dimension of \( B \) be \( [B] = [M^d L^e T^f] \) 3. **Express the dimensions for the product \( AB \):** \[ [AB] = [A][B] = [M^a L^b T^c][M^d L^e T^f] = [M^{a+d} L^{b+e} T^{c+f}] \] From the given \( [AB] = [ML^2T^{-2}] \), we can equate the exponents: - \( a + d = 1 \) (1) - \( b + e = 2 \) (2) - \( c + f = -2 \) (3) 4. **Express the dimensions for the quotient \( \frac{A}{B} \):** \[ \left[\frac{A}{B}\right] = \frac{[A]}{[B]} = \frac{[M^a L^b T^c]}{[M^d L^e T^f]} = [M^{a-d} L^{b-e} T^{c-f}] \] From the given \( \left[\frac{A}{B}\right] = [MT^{-2}] \), we can equate the exponents: - \( a - d = 1 \) (4) - \( b - e = 0 \) (5) - \( c - f = -2 \) (6) 5. **Solve the equations:** - From (1) and (4): \[ a + d = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad a - d = 1 \] Adding these two equations: \[ 2a = 2 \implies a = 1 \] Substituting \( a = 1 \) into (1): \[ 1 + d = 1 \implies d = 0 \] - From (2) and (5): \[ b + e = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad b - e = 0 \] Adding these two equations: \[ 2b = 2 \implies b = 1 \] Substituting \( b = 1 \) into (2): \[ 1 + e = 2 \implies e = 1 \] - From (3) and (6): \[ c + f = -2 \quad \text{and} \quad c - f = -2 \] Adding these two equations: \[ 2c = -4 \implies c = -2 \] Substituting \( c = -2 \) into (3): \[ -2 + f = -2 \implies f = 0 \] 6. **Summary of dimensions:** - \( A \): \( [A] = [M^1 L^1 T^{-2}] \) which represents force (since \( F = ma \)). - \( B \): \( [B] = [M^0 L^1 T^0] \) which represents displacement. ### Final Answer: - The physical quantities A and B are: - \( A \) is Force - \( B \) is Displacement

To solve the problem, we need to find the physical quantities A and B given their dimensional formulas for the product and quotient. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write down the given dimensional formulas:** - For the product \( AB \): \[ [AB] = [ML^2T^{-2}] ...
