    The potential energy of a particle varies with distance \[\chi \] as \[U=\frac{Ax_{{}}^{1/2}}{x_{{}}^{2}+B}\] where A and B are constants. The dimensional formula for A x B is

    A) \[M_{{}}^{1}L_{{}}^{7/2}T_{{}}^{-2}\]     

    B) \[M_{{}}^{1}L_{{}}^{1/2}T_{{}}^{-2}\]

    C) \[M_{{}}^{1}L_{{}}^{5/2}T_{{}}^{-2}\]     

    D) \[M_{{}}^{1}L_{{}}^{9/2}T_{{}}^{-2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Here \[{{x}^{2}}\]has the dimensions of \[{{L}^{2}},B=[{{L}^{2}}]\] Also \[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}=\frac{A{{L}^{1/2}}}{{{L}^{2}}}\]or \[A=M{{L}^{7/2}}{{T}^{-2}}\] \[\therefore \,A\times B=M{{L}^{11/2}}{{T}^{-2}}\]
