The potential energy of a point particle is given by the expression $V(x)=-\alpha x+\beta \sin (x / \gamma)$. A dimensionless combination of the constants $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ is
Clearly, dimensions of $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ are
$[\alpha]=\frac{[ V ]}{[ x ]}=\frac{\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-2}\right]}{[ L ]}=\left[ MLT ^{-2}\right]$
$\mid \beta]=[ V ]=\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-2}\right]$
and $[\gamma]=[ x ]=[ L ]$
$=\left[ M ^0 L ^0 T ^0\right]$

A set of defective observation of weights is used by a student to find the mass of an object using a physical balance. A large number of readings will reduce
The dimensions of Stefan-Boltzmann's constant $\sigma$ can be written in terms of Planck's constant $h$, Boltzmann's constant $k_B$ and the speed of light $c$ as $\sigma=h^\alpha k_B^\beta c^\gamma$. Here,
The equation of state of some gases can be expressed as $\left( {P + \frac{a}{{{V^2}}}} \right) = \frac{{b\theta }}{l}$ Where $P$ is the pressure, $V$ the volume, $\theta $ the absolute temperature and $a$ and $b$ are constants. The dimensional formula of $a$ is
A screw gauge of pitch $0.5\,mm$ is used to measure the diameter of uniform wire of length $6.8\,cm$, the main scale reading is $1.5\,mm$ and circular scale reading is $7$. The calculated curved surface area of wire to appropriate significant figures is $......cm^2$ . [Screw gauge has $50$ divisions on the circular scale]
