The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the physical quantities \( P \) and \( Q \) based on their dimensional formulas. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We are given: 1. The dimensional formula of the product \( P \cdot Q \) is \( [P \cdot Q] = ML^2T^{-2} \). 2. The dimensional formula of the ratio \( \frac{P}{Q} \) is \( \left[\frac{P}{Q}\right] = MT^{-2} \). ### Step 2: Write the dimensional formulas Let’s denote the dimensional formulas of \( P \) and \( Q \) as: - \( [P] = M^{a}L^{b}T^{c} \) - \( [Q] = M^{d}L^{e}T^{f} \) ### Step 3: Set up equations based on the product and ratio From the product: \[ [P \cdot Q] = [P][Q] = (M^{a}L^{b}T^{c})(M^{d}L^{e}T^{f}) = M^{a+d}L^{b+e}T^{c+f} = ML^2T^{-2} \] This gives us the following equations: 1. \( a + d = 1 \) (for mass) 2. \( b + e = 2 \) (for length) 3. \( c + f = -2 \) (for time) From the ratio: \[ \left[\frac{P}{Q}\right] = \frac{[P]}{[Q]} = \frac{M^{a}L^{b}T^{c}}{M^{d}L^{e}T^{f}} = M^{a-d}L^{b-e}T^{c-f} = MT^{-2} \] This gives us the following equations: 4. \( a - d = 1 \) (for mass) 5. \( b - e = 0 \) (for length) 6. \( c - f = -2 \) (for time) ### Step 4: Solve the equations Now we have a system of equations: 1. \( a + d = 1 \) 2. \( b + e = 2 \) 3. \( c + f = -2 \) 4. \( a - d = 1 \) 5. \( b - e = 0 \) 6. \( c - f = -2 \) From equations 4 and 1: - Adding gives \( 2a = 2 \) → \( a = 1 \) - Substituting \( a = 1 \) into equation 1 gives \( 1 + d = 1 \) → \( d = 0 \). From equations 5 and 2: - Adding gives \( b + e = 2 \) and \( b - e = 0 \) → \( 2b = 2 \) → \( b = 1 \). - Substituting \( b = 1 \) into equation 2 gives \( 1 + e = 2 \) → \( e = 1 \). From equations 6 and 3: - Adding gives \( c + f = -2 \) and \( c - f = -2 \) → \( 2c = -4 \) → \( c = -2 \). - Substituting \( c = -2 \) into equation 3 gives \( -2 + f = -2 \) → \( f = 0 \). ### Step 5: Write the dimensional formulas for \( P \) and \( Q \) Now we have: - \( P: M^1L^1T^{-2} \) (which corresponds to force) - \( Q: M^0L^1T^0 \) (which corresponds to length or displacement) ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude that: - \( P \) is force (dimension \( MLT^{-2} \)) - \( Q \) is displacement (dimension \( L \))
