MCQ
Dimensions of potential energy are
- A$ML{T^{ - 1}}$
- ✓$M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}$
- C$M{L^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}$
- D$M{L^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 1}}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}$
b
Potential energy $=[ mgh ]$
Potential energy $=[ mgh ]$
$=\left[\left( M ^1\right)\left( LT ^{-2}\right)( L )\right]$
$=\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-2}\right]$
