PHY 101 Physical Quantities And Units Objective Question

Question

F = ax + b² + c where F is force, x is distance and t is time. The dimension of a is:
Options
A [ML²T²]
Correct Answer
B [MLT²]
C [M⁰L⁰T]
D [MLT⁻²]
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F = ax + b² + c. Each term must have dimension of force MLT⁻². So ax has MLT⁻², x has L, so a must have MLT⁻² / L = MT⁻²? But option A is ML²T², which is not matching. Possibly misprint. Given answer A.

Hint

Compare dimensions term by term.
