The force is given in terms of time t and displacement x by the equation
F = A cos Bx + C sin Dt
The dimensional formula of AD/B is :
The force is given in terms of time t and displacement x by the equation
F = A cos Bx + C sin Dt
The dimensional formula of AD/B is :
Dimension of B = [L? ¹]
Dimension of D = [T? ¹]
Dimension of A = [MLT? ²]
The dimensional formula of AD/B
= [MLT? ²] [T? ¹]/ [L? ¹] = [ML²T? ³]
The work done by a gas molecule in an isolated system is given by <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>

Since, should be dimensionless.
So, dimension of
Dimension of should be that of W.
So,

The pitch of the screw gauge is 1mm and there are 100 divisions on the circular scale. When nothing is put in between the jaws, the zero of the circular scale lies 8 divisions below the reference line. When a wire is placed between the jaws, the first linear scale division is clearly visible while 72nd division on circular scale coincides with the reference line, The radius of the wire is:

Zero error = +0.08 mm.
Diameter = 1 + 72 * 0.01 – 0.08 = 1.64 mm
Radius = 0.82 mm
If e is the electronic charge, c is the speed of light in free space and h is Planck’s constant, the quantity has dimensions of
If e is the electronic charge, c is the speed of light in free space and h is Planck’s constant, the quantity has dimensions of
Dimension of ‘Fr’ and ‘E’ are same dimensionless
