    If pressure \[P\], velocity \[V\] and time \[T\] are taken as fundamental physical quantities, the dimensional formula of force is                                                                                             [EAMCET (Eng.) 2000]

    A)             \[P{{V}^{2}}{{T}^{2}}\]

    B)             \[{{P}^{-1}}{{V}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}\]

    C)             \[PV{{T}^{2}}\]      

    D)             \[{{P}^{-1}}V{{T}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                                Let \[F\propto {{P}^{x}}{{V}^{y}}{{T}^{z}}\]             by substituting the following dimensions :             \[[P]=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]\[[V]=[L{{T}^{-1}}],\,[T]=[T]\]             and comparing the dimension of both sides             \[x=1,\,y=2,\,z=2\], so \[F=P{{V}^{2}}{{T}^{2}}\]
