A spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta $. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63$ times the terminal velocity $(v)$ is called time constant $(\tau )$. Dimensionally $\tau $ can be represented by

In a system of units if force $(F)$, acceleration $(A) $ and time $(T)$ are taken as fundamental units then the dimensional formula of energy is 

If the time period $t$ of the oscillation of a drop of liquid of density $d$, radius $r$, vibrating under surface tension $s$ is given by the formula $t = \sqrt {{r^{2b}}\,{s^c}\,{d^{a/2}}} $ . It is observed that the time period is directly proportional to $\sqrt {\frac{d}{s}} $ . The value of $b$ should therefore be

Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity $X$ as follows: [position $]=\left[X^\alpha\right] ;[$ speed $]=\left[X^\beta\right]$; [acceleration $]=\left[X^{ p }\right]$; [linear momentum $]=\left[X^{ q }\right]$; [force $]=\left[X^{ I }\right]$. Then -

$(A)$ $\alpha+p=2 \beta$

$(B)$ $p+q-r=\beta$

$(C)$ $p-q+r=\alpha$

$(D)$ $p+q+r=\beta$
