  1. The velocity v of a particle at time t is given by v = at +
    b
    , where a, b and c are constant.
    t + c
    The dimensions of a, b and c are respectively​​

    Dimension of  a. t = dimension of velocity​ ​
    a .t = L T-1 ⇒ a = LT-2
    Dimension of c = dimension of t
    ​(two physical quantity of same dimension can only be added)
    So, dimension of c = T

    Dimension of
    b
    = Dimension of v
    t + c

    b
    = L T-1 ⇒ b.T-1 = LT-1 ⇒ b = L
    T + T

    So, answer is LT-2, L & T

    Correct Option: D

    Dimension of  a. t = dimension of velocity​ ​
    a .t = L T-1 ⇒ a = LT-2
    Dimension of c = dimension of t
    ​(two physical quantity of same dimension can only be added)
    So, dimension of c = T

    Dimension of
    b
    = Dimension of v
    t + c

    b
    = L T-1 ⇒ b.T-1 = LT-1 ⇒ b = L
    T + T

    So, answer is LT-2, L & T

    F =
    G M1m1
    ⇒ G =
    F r2
    r2M1m1

    ∴ dimension of G is
    MLT-2 [L2]
    = M-1L3T-2
    [M] [M]

    Correct Option: B

    F =
    G M1m1
    ⇒ G =
    F r2
    r2M1m1

    ∴ dimension of G is
    MLT-2 [L2]
    = M-1L3T-2
    [M] [M]

    We know that E = hυ

    h =
    E
    =
    [ML2T-2]
    = [ML2T-1]
    υ[T-1]

    Angular momentum = Iω ​
    = [ML2][T – 1] = [ML2T – 1]

    Correct Option: D

    We know that E = hυ

    h =
    E
    =
    [ML2T-2]
    = [ML2T-1]
    υ[T-1]

    Angular momentum = Iω ​
    = [ML2][T – 1] = [ML2T – 1]
