MCQ

An expression for a dimensionless quantity $P$ is given by $P=\frac{\alpha}{\beta} \log _{e}\left(\frac{ kt }{\beta x }\right)$; where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants, $x$ is distance ; $k$ is Boltzmann constant and $t$ is the temperature. Then the dimensions of $\alpha$ will be

A
$[ M ^{0} L ^{-1} T ^{0} ]$
B
$[ ML ^{0} T ^{-2}]$
✓
$[ MLT ^{-2}]$
D
$[ ML ^{2} T ^{-2}]$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$[ MLT ^{-2}]$

c
$P=\frac{\alpha}{\beta} \log _{ e }\left(\frac{ kt }{\beta x }\right)$

$\frac{ kt }{\beta x }=1 \Rightarrow \beta=\frac{ kt }{ x }=\frac{ ML ^{2} T ^{-2}}{ L }$

$\left(\because E =\frac{1}{2} kt \right)$

$As \; P$ is dimensionless

$\Rightarrow[\alpha]=[\beta]=\left[ MLT ^{-2}\right]$

A crew of scientists has built a new space station. The space station is shaped like a wheel of radius $R,$ with essentially all its mass $M$ at the rim. When the crew arrives, the station will be set rotating at a rate that causes an object at the rim to have radial acceleration $g,$ thereby simulating Earth's surface gravity. This is accomplished by two small rockets, each with thrust $T$ newtons, mounted on the station's rim. How long a time $t$ does one need to fire the rockets to achieve the desired condition?
