Question 31. The period of a body under SHM i.e. presented by T = PaDbSc ; where P is pressure, D is density and S is surface tension. The value of a, b and c are
  1.    −32,12,1
  2.    -1,-2,3
  3.    12,−32,−12
  4.    1,2,12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> −32,12,1
:
A
By substituting the dimension of each quantity we get T = [ML1T2]a[L3M]b[MT2]c=Ma+b+cLa3bT2a2c
a+b+c=0,a3b=0 and 2a2c=1
Solving we get, a=32,b=12 and c=1
Question 32. If the unit of length and force be increased four times, then the unit of energy is
  1.    Increased 4 times   
  2.    Increased 8 times
  3.    Increased 16 times
  4.    Decreased 16 times
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Increased 16 times
:
C
Energy = force × distance, so if both are increased by 4 times then energy will increase by 16 times.
Question 33. The dimensions of universal gravitational constant are
  1.    M−2L2T−2
  2.    M−1L3T−2
  3.    ML−1T−2
  4.    ML2T−2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> M−1L3T−2
:
B
F=Gm1m2d2 G =Fd2m1m2
[G]=[MLT2][L2][M2]=[M1L3T2]
Question 34. The Martians use force(F) , acceleration (A) and time (T) as their fundamental physical quantities. The dimensions of length on Martians system are
  1.    FT2
  2.    F−1A2T−1
  3.    F−1A0T−1
  4.    AT2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> AT2
:
D
Acceleration =distancetime2 A = LT2 L= AT2
Question 35. The velocity of water waves v may depend upon their wavelength λ the density of water ρ and the acceleration due to gravity g. The method of dimensions gives the relation between these quantities as
  1.    v2 rg
  2.    v2∝gλρ
  3.    v2∝ g λ
  4.    v2∝g−1λ−3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> v2∝ g λ
:
C
Letvx=kgyλzρδ
Now by substituting the dimensions of each quantities and equating the powers of M,L and T, we get δ = 0 and x = 2,y = 1,z = 1.
Question 36. The velocity of a particle depends upon as v = a + bt + ct2 ; if the velocity is in m/sec, the unit of a will be 
  1.    m/sec
  2.    m/sec2
  3.    m2/sec  
  4.    m/sec3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> m/sec
:
A
Quantities of similar dimensions can be added or subtracted so unit of awill be same as that of velocity.
Question 37. If the velocity of light (c), gravitational constant (G) and Planck's constant (h) are chosen as fundamental units, then the dimensions of mass in new system is            
  1.    c12G12h12
  2.    c12G12h−12
  3.    c12G−12h12
  4.    c−12G12h12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> c12G−12h12
:
C
LetmcxGyhz
by substituting the following dimentions :
[c] = LT1;[G] = [M1L3T2]and [h] = [ML2T1]
Now comparing both sides we will get
x = 12;y=12,z=+12
So mc12G12h12
Question 38. In S = a + bt + ct2. S is measured in metres and t in seconds. The unit of c is 
  1.    No dimensions
  2.    m
  3.    ms−1
  4.    ms−2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> ms−2
:
D
ct2 must have dimensions of Lc must have dimensions of LT2 i.e.,LT2
Question 39. SI unit of permittivity (ϵ)  is….. (if Coulomb (C), Meter (m) and Force (N) are fundamental Quantities
  1.    C2m−3N−1
  2.    C−1m2N−2
  3.    C2m2N2
  4.    C2m−2N−1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> C2m−2N−1
:
D
F=14πϵq1q2r2ϵ=14πq1q2Fr2=C2m2N1
Question 40. Of the following quantities, which one has dimensions different from the remaining three
  1.    Energy per unit volume
  2.    Force per unit area
  3.    Product of voltage and charge per unit volume
  4.    Angular momentum per unit mass
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Angular momentum per unit mass
:
D
Energy per unit volume =[ML2T2][L3]=[ML1T2]
Force per unit area =[MLT2][L2]=[ML1T2]
Product of voltage and charge per unit volume
=V×QVolume=VltVolume=Power×TimeVolume
[ML2T3][T][L3]=[ML1T2]
Angular momentum per unit mass =[ML2T1][M]=[L2T1]
So angular momentum per unit mass has different dimension.
