Question:

If the dimensions of a physical quantity are given by Ma Lb Tc , then the physical quantity will be:

Options:

Velocity if a = 1, b = 0, c = - 1 

Acceleration if a = 1, b = 1, c = - 2 

Force if a = 0, b = - 1, c = - 2

Pressure if a = 1, b = - 1, c = - 2

Correct Answer:

Pressure if a = 1, b = - 1, c = - 2

Explanation:

Pressure = MLT-2/L2 = ML-1T -2

 ⇒ a = 1, b =  -1, c = -2.
