Answers
:
✧ To find dimensions:
☞We have know its S.I units
✪ Acceleration
S.I unit of acceleration is m/s²
Therefore, its dimension is:
✪ Pressure
S.I unit of pressure is N/m²
Therefore, its dimension is:
✪ Momentum
S.I unit of momentum is kgm/sec
Therefore, its dimension is:
✪ Work
S.I unit of work is joule
Therefore, its dimension is:
✪ Density
S.I unit of density is kg/m³
Therefore, its dimension is:
Answer:
Acceleration = [M° L¹ T-²] ( M zero L one T minus two)
Pressure (P) = M¹ L-¹ T -² (M one L minus one T minus two)
Momentum = [M¹ L¹ T-¹] (M one L one T minus one)
Work = = [M¹ L² T-²] (M one L two T Minus two)
Density = [M¹ L-³ T°] (M one L minus three T zero)
Explanation:
Acceleration = Velocity × Time-1. Or, a = [M0 L1 T-1] × [T] = [M0 L1 T-2] Therefore, acceleration is dimensionally represented as [M0 L1 T-2].
Pressure (P) = Force × Area-1. Or, P = [M1 L1 T-2] × [L2]-1 = M1 L-1 T -2. Therefore, the pressure is dimensionally represented as M1 L-1 T -2.
Therefore, momentum is dimensionally represented as [M1 L1 T-1].
Work = Force × Displacement. Or, W = [M1 L1 T-2] × [M0 L1 T0] = [M1 L2 T-2]. Therefore, work is dimensionally represented as [M1 L2 T-2].
Density = Mass × Volume-1. Or, (ρ) = [M1 L0 T0] × [M0 L3 T0]-1 = [M1 L-3 T0] Therefore, density is dimensionally represented as [M1 L-3 T0].
