Question

A physical quantity P is given by the relation, P=P0e(αt2). If t denotes the time, the dimensions of constant α are
  1. [T]
  2. [T2]
  3. [T1]
  4. [T2]

A
[T2]
B
[T]
C
[T2]
D
[T1]
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given,

P=P0e(αt2)

As we know, both P and P0 are pressure, it have the same units. Therefore, αt2 must be dimensionless for which,

α=1T2=T2

So the dimension of α is [T2].
