1.Units, Dimensions and Measurement

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
A
$F{A^2}T$
B
$FA{T^2}$
C
${F^2}AT$
D
$FAT$
Solution
(b) $E = K{F^a}{A^b}{T^c}$
$\left[ {M{L^2}{T^{ – 2}}} \right] = {\left[ {ML{T^{ – 2}}} \right]^a}{\left[ {L{T^{ – 2}}} \right]^b}{\left[ T \right]^c}$
$\left[ {M{L^2}{T^{ – 2}}} \right] = \left[ {{M^a}{L^{a + b}}{T^{ – 2a – 2b + c}}} \right]$
$\therefore $ $a = 1$, $a + b = 2$ $⇒$ $b = 1$
and $ – 2a – 2b + c = – 2\;\; \Rightarrow \;c = 2$
$\therefore $ $E = KFA{T^2}$.
