X and $\frac{a}{Y^{2}}$ have same dimensions

Y and b have same dimensions

$∴ [a] = [M L^{5} T^{- 2}]$

$[b] = [L^{3}]$

$\frac{[a]}{[b]} = [M L^{2} T^{- 2}]$ has dimensions of energy.

Q 54 :

The speed of a wave produced in water is given by $v = λ^{a} g^{b} ρ^{c}$ . When $λ$ , g and $ρ$ are wavelength of wave, acceleration due to gravity and density of water respectively. The values of a, b and c respectively, are [2023]

$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, 0$
1, 1, 0
1, –1, 0
$\frac{1}{2}, 0, \frac{1}{2}$

$v = λ^{a} g^{b} ρ^{c}$

using dimension formula

$\Rightarrow [M^{0} L^{1} T^{- 1}] = {[L^{1}]}^{a} {[L^{1} T^{- 2}]}^{b} {[M^{1} L^{- 3}]}^{c}$

$\Rightarrow [M^{0} L^{1} T^{- 1}] = [M^{c} L^{a + b - 3 c} T^{- 2 b}]$

$∴ c = 0, a + b - 3 c = 1, - 2 b = - 1 \Rightarrow b = \frac{1}{2}$

Now, a + b –3c = 1

$\Rightarrow a + \frac{1}{2} - 0 = 1$

$\Rightarrow a = \frac{1}{2}$

$∴ a = \frac{1}{2}, b = \frac{1}{2}, c = 0$

Q 55 :

Consider a modified Bernoulli equation.

$(P + \frac{A}{B t^{2}}) + ρ g (h + B t) + \frac{1}{2} ρ v^{2} = constant .$

If t has the dimension of time then the dimensions of A and B are , respectively. [2026]

$[M L^{0} T^{- 1}] a n d [M^{0} L T^{- 1}]$
$[M L^{0} T^{- 2}] a n d [M^{0} L T^{- 2}]$
$[M L^{0} T^{- 1}] a n d [M^{0} L T]$
$[M L^{0} T^{- 2}] a n d [M^{0} L T^{- 1}]$

$\Rightarrow [P] = [\frac{A}{B t^{2}}] . . . . . (1)$

$\Rightarrow [h] = [B t] . . . . . (2)$

$\Rightarrow [B] = [\frac{h}{t}] = [\frac{L}{T}] = [L T^{- 1}]$

$Putting B in equation (1)$

$[M L^{- 1} T^{- 2}] = [\frac{A}{L T^{- 1} \times T^{2}}]$

$[A] = [M L^{0} T^{- 1}]$
