PHY 101 Physical Quantities And Units Objective Question

Question

If F + (x/density) + C is dimensionally correct, then the dimensions of x are:
Options
A MLT⁻²
B MLT⁻³
C ML²T⁻³
D M²L⁻²T⁻²
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F is force [MLT⁻²]. Density is [ML⁻³]. So x/density must have same dimension as F. So [x]/[ML⁻³] = MLT⁻² → [x] = MLT⁻² * ML⁻³ = M²L⁻²T⁻².

Hint

All added terms must have same dimension as F.
