  1. An equation is given as : p +
    a
    - b
    θ
    V2V

    where P = Pressure, V = Volume & θ = Absolute temperature. If a and b are constants, then dimensions of a will be

    p +
    a
    = b
    Q
    V2V

    According to the principle of homogeinity quantity with same dimension can be added or subtracted. ​
    Hence, Dimension of P = Dimension of
    a
    V2

    ⇒ Dimension of
    Force
    = Dimension of
    a
    AreaV2

    MLT-2
    =
    a
    ⇒ a = [M L5 T-2]
    L2[L3]2

    Correct Option: A

    p +
    a
    = b

    F = 6πη av

    η =
    F
    =
    [MLT-2]
    = [ML-1T-1]
    6π av[L] [LT-1]

    Correct Option: D

    F = 6πη av

    η =
    F
    =
    [MLT-2]
    = [ML-1T-1]
    6π av[L] [LT-1]
