- If length, mass and force are selected as fundamental units, what will be the dimension of time ? |
|
Answer» Answer: We are given that force F, length L, and mass M are the fundamental QUANTITIES of TIME T and hence we put, T=F x L y M
SUBSTITUTING their dimensions we have [T]=[M x L x T −2x ]L y M z
Applying principle of homogeneity of dimensions we have 1=−2x or x= 2 −1
, y= 2 1
, z= 2 1
, ∴ dimension of time becomes M 2 1
L 2 1
F 2 −1
