    If F denotes force and t time, then in the equation \[F=a{{t}^{-1}}+b{{t}^{2}}\], the dimensions of a and b respectively are

    A) \[[L{{T}^{-4}}]\,and\,[L{{T}^{-1}}]\]         

    B) \[[L{{T}^{-1}}]\,and\,[L{{T}^{-4}}]\]

    C) \[[ML{{T}^{-4}}]\,and\,[ML{{T}^{-1}}]\]

    D) \[[MLT]\,and\,[ML{{T}^{-4}}]\]

    E) \[[ML{{T}^{-3}}]\,and\,[ML{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    By the principal of dimensions homogenety \[F=a{{t}^{-1}}\] \[[ML{{T}^{-2}}]=a[{{T}^{-1}}]\] \[\therefore \]  \[a=[ML{{T}^{-1}}]\] Similarly for \[b=[ML{{T}^{-4}}]\] So, \[[ML{{T}^{-1}}],[ML{{T}^{-4}}]\]
