The correct Answer is:
To find the dimension of acceleration in a system where energy \(E\), momentum \(P\), and force \(F\) are chosen as fundamental units, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the dimension of acceleration Acceleration \(a\) is defined as the change in velocity per unit time. The dimension of acceleration is given by: \[ [a] = L^1 T^{-2} \] where \(L\) represents length and \(T\) represents time. ### Step 2: Express acceleration in terms of fundamental units We express acceleration in terms of the fundamental units \(E\), \(P\), and \(F\): \[ a = E^a P^b F^c \] where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are the powers to which \(E\), \(P\), and \(F\) are raised. ### Step 3: Write the dimensions of \(E\), \(P\), and \(F\) Next, we need to express the dimensions of energy, momentum, and force: - Energy \(E\) has the dimension: \[ [E] = M^1 L^2 T^{-2} \] - Momentum \(P\) has the dimension: \[ [P] = M^1 L^1 T^{-1} \] - Force \(F\) has the dimension: \[ [F] = M^1 L^1 T^{-2} \] ### Step 4: Substitute dimensions into the equation Now we substitute these dimensions into our equation: \[ L^1 T^{-2} = (M^1 L^2 T^{-2})^a (M^1 L^1 T^{-1})^b (M^1 L^1 T^{-2})^c \] ### Step 5: Expand the right side Expanding the right side gives: \[ L^1 T^{-2} = M^{a+b+c} L^{2a+b+c} T^{-2a-b-2c} \] ### Step 6: Compare the dimensions Now we compare the dimensions on both sides: 1. For mass \(M\): \[ 0 = a + b + c \quad \text{(1)} \] 2. For length \(L\): \[ 1 = 2a + b + c \quad \text{(2)} \] 3. For time \(T\): \[ -2 = -2a - b - 2c \quad \text{(3)} \] ### Step 7: Solve the equations From equation (1): \[ b + c = -a \quad \text{(4)} \] Substituting equation (4) into equation (2): \[ 1 = 2a + (-a) \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1 = a \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 1 \] Substituting \(a = 1\) into equation (4): \[ b + c = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = -1 - c \quad \text{(5)} \] Now substituting \(a = 1\) into equation (3): \[ -2 = -2(1) - b - 2c \quad \Rightarrow \quad -2 = -2 - b - 2c \quad \Rightarrow \quad 0 = -b - 2c \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = -2c \quad \text{(6)} \] ### Step 8: Solve for \(b\) and \(c\) From equations (5) and (6): Substituting \(b = -2c\) into (5): \[ -2c + c = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -c = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad c = 1 \] Then substituting \(c = 1\) back into (6): \[ b = -2(1) = -2 \] ### Final Result Thus, we have: \[ a = 1, \quad b = -2, \quad c = 1 \] Therefore, the dimensions of acceleration in the new system are: \[ E^1 P^{-2} F^1 \]
