Question:

If force [F], acceleration [A] and time [T] are chosen as the fundamental physical quantities. Find the dimensions of energy. 

Options:

[FAT2]

[FAT-1]

[FA-1T]

[FAT]

Correct Answer:

[FAT2]

Explanation:

[E] = [FaAbTc]

[ML2T-2] = [MLT-2]a[LT-2]b[T]c

             = [MaLa-2bT-2a-2b+c]

a = 1 ; a - 2b = 2 ; -2a - 2b + c = 2

On solving, a = 1 ; b = 1 ; c = 2

[E] = [FAT2]
