Question

A force F is given by F=at+bt2, where t is time. The dimensions of a and b are :
  1. [MLT2] and [MLT0]
  2. [MLT4] and [MLT3]
  3. [MLT3] and [MLT4]
  4. [MLT1] and [MLT2]

A
[MLT3] and [MLT4]
B
[MLT1] and [MLT2]
C
[MLT4] and [MLT3]
D
[MLT2] and [MLT0]
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Dimensions of force are MLT2. Thus, both at and bt2 must have units of force.
Thus, |a|T=MLT2 or |a|=MLT3
Also, |b|T2=MLT2 or |b|=MLT4
