    A force F is given by \[F=at+b{{t}^{2}},\] where, t is time. What are the dimensions of a and b?

    A) \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ ML}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\,\text{and}\,\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ ML}{{\text{T}}^{\text{0}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]

    B)        \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ ML}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-3}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\,\text{and}\,\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ M}{{\text{L}}^{2}}{{\text{T}}^{4}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]

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

    D)        \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ ML}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-3}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\,\text{and}\,\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ ML}{{\text{T}}^{-4}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Force \[F=at+b{{t}^{2}}\] From principle of homogeneity, Dimensions of \[at\]= dimensions of \[F\] \[\therefore \] Dimensions of \[a=\frac{[F]}{[t]}=\frac{[ML{{T}^{-2}}]}{[T]}\]      \[=[ML{{T}^{-3}}]\] Similarly, dimensions of \[b=\frac{[F]}{[{{t}^{2}}]}=\frac{[ML{{T}^{-2}}]}{[{{T}^{2}}]}=[ML{{T}^{-4}}]\]
