MCQ
Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity $X$ as follows: [position $]=\left[X^\alpha\right] ;[$ speed $]=\left[X^\beta\right]$; [acceleration $]=\left[X^{ p }\right]$; [linear momentum $]=\left[X^{ q }\right]$; [force $]=\left[X^{ I }\right]$. Then -

$(A)$ $\alpha+p=2 \beta$

$(B)$ $p+q-r=\beta$

$(C)$ $p-q+r=\alpha$

$(D)$ $p+q+r=\beta$

  • $A,B$
  • B
    $A,C$
  • C
    $A,D$
  • D
    $B,C$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$A,B$

Given $L =x^\alpha$     $. . . . . . (1)$

$LT ^{-1}=x^\beta$        $. . . . . . (2)$

$LT ^{-2}=x^{ p }$          $. . . . . . (3)$

$MLT ^{-1}=x^q$           $. . . . . . (4)$

$MLT ^{-2}=x^{ I }V$     $. . . . . . (5)$

$\quad \frac{(1)}{(2)} \Rightarrow T =x^{\alpha-\beta}$

From $(3)$

$\frac{ x ^\alpha}{ x ^{2(\alpha-\beta)}}= x ^{ p }$

$\Rightarrow \alpha+ p =2 \beta$

From $(4)$

$M=x^{q-\beta}$

From $(5)$ $\Rightarrow x ^{ q }= x ^{ T } x ^{\alpha-\beta}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha+ r - q =\beta$

Replacing value ' $\alpha$ ' in equation $(6)$ from $(A)$

$2 \beta- p + r - q =\beta$

$\Rightarrow  p + q - r =\beta$

Replacing value of ' $\beta$ ' in equation $(6)$ from $(A)$

$2 \alpha+2 r-2 q=\alpha+p$

$\alpha=p+2 q-2 r$
