1.Units, Dimensions and Measurement
medium

An object is moving through the liquid. The viscous damping force acting on it is proportional to the velocity. Then dimension of constant of proportionality is

A

$M{L^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 1}}$

B

$ML{T^{ - 1}}$

C

${M^0}L{T^{ - 1}}$

D

$M{L^0}{T^{ - 1}}$

Solution

(d) $F \propto v \Rightarrow F = kv \Rightarrow [k] = \left[ {\frac{F}{v}} \right] = \left[ {\frac{{ML{T^{ – 2}}}}{{L{T^{ – 1}}}}} \right] = [M{T^{ – 1}}]$
