Applications of Dimensional Analysis

A force defined by F=αt2+βtF = \alpha t^2 + \beta t acts on a particle at a given time tt. The factor which is dimensionless, if α\alpha and β\beta are constants, is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Each term has dimensions of force: [α]=[FT−2][\alpha] = [F T^{-2}], [β]=[FT−1][\beta] = [F T^{-1}].
  2. [αt/β]=[FT−2][T][FT−1]=1[\alpha t/\beta] = \dfrac{[F T^{-2}][T]}{[F T^{-1}]} = 1.
  3. So the answer is (b) αt/β\alpha t/\beta.
