Question:

The velocity of a particle v at an instant t is given by v = at +$bt^2$ the dimension of b is

Options:

[L]

$[LT^{-1}]$

$[LT^{-2}]$

$[LT^{-3}]$

Correct Answer:

$[LT^{-3}]$

Explanation:

According to principle of dimensional Analysis Dimension of terms on LHS and RHS must be equal.

Hence dimension of $at ,bt^2$ is same as that of v.

⇒ $[bt^2]$ = $[LT^{-1}]$

⇒ [b] = $[LT^{-3}]$
