    The frequency of vibration of string is given by \[\nu =\frac{p}{2l}{{\left[ \frac{F}{m} \right]}^{1/2}}\]. Here p is number of segments in the string and l is the length. The dimensional formula for m will be [BHU 2004]

    A)             \[[{{M}^{0}}L{{T}^{-1}}]\]

    B)                      \[[M{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]

    C)             \[[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{0}}]\]

    D)                      \[[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

            \[\nu =\frac{P}{2l}{{\left[ \frac{F}{m} \right]}^{1/2}}\]\[\Rightarrow {{\nu }^{2}}=\frac{{{P}^{2}}}{4{{l}^{2}}}\left[ \frac{F}{m} \right]\therefore m\propto \frac{F}{{{l}^{2}}{{\nu }^{2}}}\]             \[\Rightarrow [m]=\left[ \frac{ML{{T}^{-2}}}{{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}} \right]=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{0}}]\]
