Answer» `[E^(-1)p^(3)]` Let `m = kE^(a)p^(b)F^(c)` where k is a DIMENSIONLESS constant. `:.[M]= [ML^(2)T^(-2)]^(a)[MLT^(-1)]^(b)[MLT^(-2)]^(c)` or `[ML^(0)T^(0)]= [M^(a+b+c)L^(2A+b+c)T^(-2a-b-2c)]` EQUATING the powers of M, L and T we get a + b +c= 1, 2a + b + c = 0, -2a - b- 2c =0 Solving, we get a=-1, b= 2 and c=0 Hence `[m] = [E^(-1)p^(2)]` |
