Q.

The potential energy of a particle moving along x-direction varies as V=Ax2x+B. The dimensions of A2B are                  [2024]

1 [M3/2L1/2T-3]  
2 [M1/2LT-3]  
3 [M2L1/2T-4]  
4 [ML2T-4]  

Ans.

(3)

V=Ax2x+B

Dimensions of V=[M1L2T-2]

Dimensions of x2=[L2]

Dimension of x=[L1/2]

From the principle of homogeneity B=[L1/2]

[M1L2T-2]=A[L2][L1/2]

A=[M1L1/2T-2]  A2=[M2L1T-4]

   A2B=[M2L1T-4][L1/2]=[M2L1/2T-4]
