What is the unit of 'a' in the expression 10(at+3)?
What is the unit of 'a' in the expression 10(at+3)?
The unit of 'a' is the inverse of time (T^-1). This is because 'at' must have the same dimensions as '3', which is dimensionless. Since 't' is in seconds, 'a' must be in units of per second or s^-1.
What happens to the unit of work if the unit of length, mass, and time are each doubled?
What happens to the unit of work if the unit of length, mass, and time are each doubled?
Work has the units of [ML^2T^-2]. If length, mass, and time are doubled, the unit of work increases by 8 times: [2M * (2L)^2 * (2T)^-2] = 8[ML^2T^-2].
What is the dimensional representation of torque?
What is the dimensional representation of torque?
Torque has dimensions of [ML^2T^-2]. It is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation. This is equivalent to the dimensions of work or energy.

Study Notes
Units and Dimensions
- Bernoulli's theorem can be expressed as
P1 + ρv2/2 + ρgh = constant
, where the dimensions of the constant on the right-hand side areM1L2T–2
. - Pressure gradient
dp/dx
is the rate of change of pressure with distance, and its dimensions areML–2T–2
. - If energy (E), velocity (V), and force (F) are taken as fundamental physical quantities, then the dimensions of mass are
EV–2
. - Two physical quantities A and B having different dimensions cannot be added, but their ratio
A/B
is dimensionally correct. - If
x = at + bt2
, wherex
is in meters andt
is in hours, then the unit ofb
ism/hr2
.
Waves and Oscillations
- The equation of a stationary wave is
y = 2A sin(2πct/λ) cos(2πx/λ)
, wherec
is the velocity of the wave andλ
is its wavelength. - The unit of
ct
is same as that ofλ
, and the unit of2π c/λ
is same as that of2πx/λt
.
Oscillations
- The time period of a body under simple harmonic motion (SHM) is represented by
T ∝ PaDbSc
, whereP
is pressure,D
is density, andS
is surface tension. - The dimensional representation of torque in a system with basic dimensions as density
[D]
, velocity[V]
, and area[A]
is[A3/2V2D]
.
Unit Conversions
- If the unit of length, mass, and time each be doubled, the unit of work is increased by 2 times.
