Find the dimension of universal gravitational constant taking the units of density D velocity V and work W as base units instead of those of mass, distance and time. |

Answer» Solution :From Newton.s LAW of gravitation F = `G(M_(1)M_(2))/r^(2)` we [G] = `([F][r^(2)])/[[m^(2)])=(MLT^(-2)xxL^(2))/(M^(2))=M^(-1)L^(3)T^(-2)` Let`M^(-1)L^(3)T^(-2)=D^(X)V^(y)W^(z)` `=(ML^(-3))^(x)xx(LT^(-1))^(y)xx(ML^(2)T^(-2))^(z)` `= M^(x+z)xxL^(-3x+y+2z)XXT^(-y-2z)` Equating powers of same bases, x+z = -1 -3x+y+2z=3 and `""` -y-2z = -2 Solving x,y,z, we get x = `-(1)/(3),y=(10)/(3) "and"z=-(2)/(3)` `:." "[G]="D"^(-(1)/(3))"V"^(10/(3))"W"^(-(2)/(3))` |
