If the speed of light (c), acceleration due to gravity (g) and pressure (p) are taken as the fundamental quantities, then the dimension of gravitational constant is (A) [c2 g0 p-2] (B) [c0 g2 p-1] (C) [cg3 p-2] (D) [c-1g0 p-1]

Answer»

Answer is (B) [c0 g2 p-1]

Let G ∝ cx gy pz 

Substituting dimensions,

[M-1 L3 T-2]= [M0L1T-1]x [M0L1T-2] y [M1 L-1 T-2]z

Comparing powers of M, L, T 

- 1 = z, 

x + y - z = 3 and 

- x - 2y - 2z = - 2 

Solving, x = 0, y = 2
