    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                                           [AMU (Med.) 1999]

    A)             \[{{c}^{2}}{{g}^{0}}{{p}^{-2}}\]       

    B)             \[{{c}^{0}}{{g}^{2}}{{p}^{-1}}\]

    C)             \[c{{g}^{3}}{{p}^{-2}}\]

    D)             \[{{c}^{-1}}{{g}^{0}}{{p}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Let \[[G]\propto {{c}^{x}}{{g}^{y}}{{p}^{z}}\]             by substituting the following dimensions :             \[[G]=[{{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{-2}}],\,[c]=[L{{T}^{-1}}],[g]=[L{{T}^{-2}}]\]             \[[p]=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]             and by comparing the powers of both sides             we can get \[x=0,\,y=2,\,z=-1\]             \[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}\] \[[G]\propto {{c}^{0}}{{g}^{2}}{{p}^{-1}}\]
