Suppose speed of light (c), force (F) and kinetic energy (K) are taken as the fundamental units, then the dimensional formula for mass will be |

Answer» `[Kc^(-2)]` Where k is a dimensionless constant. `:. [M^(1)L^(0)T^(0)]= [LT^(-1)]^(x)[MLT^(-2)]^(y)[ML^(2)T^(-2)]^(z)= [M^(y+z)L^(x+y+2z)T^(-x-2y-2z)]` Applying principle of homogeneity of dimensions y+ z= 1...(i) x+y+2z= 0...(II) -x-2y-2z= 0,..(iii) Adding (ii) and (iii)we get -y=0 or y=0 From (i) z= 1-y=1 From (ii)`x= -y-2z=0-2 :. m=c^(-2)F^(0)K^(1)= Kc^(-2)` Hence the dimensional FORMULA for mass is `[Kc^(-2)]` |
