CONCEPT:
Dimensions:
- Dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers to which the fundamental units are raised to obtain one unit of that quantity.
CALCULATION:
- We know that the dimension of the force is given as,
⇒ = -----(1)
- We know that the dimension of the velocity is given as,
⇒ = -----(2)
- We know that the dimension of the time is given as,
⇒ = -----(3)
- We know that the dimension of the momentum is given as,
⇒ = -----(4)
- If force (F), velocity (V), and time (T) to be the fundamental quantity, then the dimension of the momentum is given as,
⇒ = -----(5)
By equation 1, equation 2, equation 3, equation 4 and equation 5,
⇒ x × y × z =
⇒ = -----(6)
By equation 6,
⇒ x = 1 -----(7)
⇒ x + y = 1 -----(8)
⇒ -2x + z = -1 -----(9)
By equation 7, equation 8, and equation 9,
⇒ x = 1
⇒ y = 0
⇒ z = 1
If force (F), velocity (V), and time (T) to be the fundamental quantity, then the dimension of the momentum is given as,
⇒ =
- Hence, option 1 is correct.
