    If force is proportional to square of velocity, then the dimensions of proportionality constant is

    A) \[[M{{L}^{-1}}T]\]                           

    B) \[[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{0}}]\]

    C)  \[[ML{{T}^{0}}]\]            

    D)         \[[{{M}^{0}}L{{T}^{-1}}]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As\[F\propto {{v}^{2}}\] or            \[F=k{{v}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[k=\frac{F}{{{v}^{2}}}\]                 \[[k]=\frac{[F]}{[{{v}^{2}}]}=\frac{[ML{{T}^{-2}}]}{[{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]}\]                 \[=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{0}}]\]
