The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the dimensional formulas for each of the given quantities and identify which three have the same dimensional formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the dimensional formula for `sqrt("Energy/mass")`:** - The dimensional formula for energy (E) is given by: \[ [E] = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \] - The dimensional formula for mass (m) is: \[ [m] = [M] \] - Therefore, the dimensional formula for `Energy/mass` is: \[ \frac{[E]}{[m]} = \frac{[M][L^2][T^{-2}]}{[M]} = [L^2][T^{-2}] \] - Taking the square root: \[ \sqrt{\frac{[E]}{[m]}} = \sqrt{[L^2][T^{-2}]} = [L][T^{-1}] \] 2. **Calculate the dimensional formula for `sqrt("Pressure/density")`:** - The dimensional formula for pressure (P) is given by: \[ [P] = \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] - The dimensional formula for density (ρ) is: \[ [\rho] = \frac{[M]}{[L^3]} = [M][L^{-3}] \] - Therefore, the dimensional formula for `Pressure/density` is: \[ \frac{[P]}{[\rho]} = \frac{[M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}]}{[M][L^{-3}]} = [L^2][T^{-2}] \] - Taking the square root: \[ \sqrt{\frac{[P]}{[\rho]}} = \sqrt{[L^2][T^{-2}]} = [L][T^{-1}] \] 3. **Calculate the dimensional formula for `sqrt("Force/linear density")`:** - The dimensional formula for force (F) is: \[ [F] = [M][L][T^{-2}] \] - The dimensional formula for linear density (λ) is: \[ [\lambda] = \frac{[M]}{[L]} = [M][L^{-1}] \] - Therefore, the dimensional formula for `Force/linear density` is: \[ \frac{[F]}{[\lambda]} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[M][L^{-1}]} = [L^2][T^{-2}] \] - Taking the square root: \[ \sqrt{\frac{[F]}{[\lambda]}} = \sqrt{[L^2][T^{-2}]} = [L][T^{-1}] \] 4. **Calculate the dimensional formula for `sqrt("Angular frequency/radius")`:** - The dimensional formula for angular frequency (ω) is: \[ [\omega] = [T^{-1}] \] - The dimensional formula for radius (r) is: \[ [r] = [L] \] - Therefore, the dimensional formula for `Angular frequency/radius` is: \[ \frac{[\omega]}{[r]} = \frac{[T^{-1}]}{[L]} = [L^{-1}][T^{-1}] \] - Taking the square root: \[ \sqrt{\frac{[\omega]}{[r]}} = \sqrt{[L^{-1}][T^{-1}]} = [L^{-1/2}][T^{-1/2}] \] ### Conclusion: The quantities `sqrt("Energy/mass")`, `sqrt("Pressure/density")`, and `sqrt("Force/linear density")` all have the same dimensional formula of \([L][T^{-1}]\). The fourth quantity, `sqrt("Angular frequency/radius")`, has a different dimensional formula. ### Final Answer: The three quantities that have the same dimensional formula are: - i) `sqrt("Energy/mass")` - ii) `sqrt("Pressure/density")` - iii) `sqrt("Force/linear density")`
