The correct Answer is:
To find the dimension of mass in a new system where energy \(E\), momentum \(P\), and force \(F\) are chosen as fundamental units, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Express mass in terms of \(E\), \(P\), and \(F\) Assume that mass \(M\) can be expressed as: \[ M = E^A \cdot P^B \cdot F^C \] where \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are the powers to which \(E\), \(P\), and \(F\) are raised. ### Step 2: Write the dimensions of \(E\), \(P\), and \(F\) 1. **Energy \(E\)**: The dimension of energy is the same as work, which is given by: \[ [E] = [F \cdot d] = [M^1 L^1 T^{-2}] = M^1 L^2 T^{-2} \] 2. **Momentum \(P\)**: The dimension of momentum is given by: \[ [P] = [M \cdot v] = [M^1 L^1 T^{-1}] = M^1 L^1 T^{-1} \] 3. **Force \(F\)**: The dimension of force is given by: \[ [F] = [M \cdot a] = [M^1 L^1 T^{-2}] = M^1 L^1 T^{-2} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the dimensions into the equation Substituting the dimensions into our expression for mass: \[ M = (M^1 L^2 T^{-2})^A \cdot (M^1 L^1 T^{-1})^B \cdot (M^1 L^1 T^{-2})^C \] ### Step 4: Combine the dimensions This gives: \[ M = M^{A+B+C} \cdot L^{2A + B + C} \cdot T^{-2A - B - 2C} \] ### Step 5: Set up equations for the dimensions Now we equate the dimensions on both sides: 1. For mass \(M\): \[ A + B + C = 1 \quad \text{(1)} \] 2. For length \(L\): \[ 2A + B + C = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] 3. For time \(T\): \[ -2A - B - 2C = 0 \quad \text{(3)} \] ### Step 6: Solve the equations From equation (1): \[ C = 1 - A - B \] Substituting \(C\) into equation (2): \[ 2A + B + (1 - A - B) = 0 \implies A + 1 = 0 \implies A = -1 \] Now substitute \(A = -1\) into equation (1): \[ -1 + B + C = 1 \implies B + C = 2 \quad \text{(4)} \] Substituting \(A = -1\) into equation (3): \[ -2(-1) - B - 2C = 0 \implies 2 - B - 2C = 0 \implies B + 2C = 2 \quad \text{(5)} \] ### Step 7: Solve equations (4) and (5) From equation (4): \[ B + C = 2 \implies C = 2 - B \] Substituting into equation (5): \[ B + 2(2 - B) = 2 \implies B + 4 - 2B = 2 \implies -B + 4 = 2 \implies B = 2 \] Then substituting \(B = 2\) back into equation (4): \[ 2 + C = 2 \implies C = 0 \] ### Step 8: Conclusion Now we have: \[ A = -1, \quad B = 2, \quad C = 0 \] Thus, the dimension of mass in the new system is: \[ M = E^{-1} \cdot P^{2} \cdot F^{0} \] ### Final Answer The dimension of mass in the new system is given by: \[ M = \frac{P^2}{E} \]
