The potential energy of a particle varies with distance x from a fixed origin asU=Ax x 2 +BwhereAandBare constants. The dimensions ofAare -

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

U=Axx2+B       .....(i)

Where U = Potential energy

x= distance

Dimensional formula of potential energy, U=M1 L2 T-2

Dimensional formula of distance, x=M0 L1 T0

From equation (i), we can write

[x2]=[B]

[B]= M0 L1 T02

[B]=M0 L2 T0

Dimensional formula of B=M0 L2 T0

We can write equation (i) as,

U=Axx2

U=Ax32

A=Ux32

A=M1 L2 T-2×M0 L1 T032

A=M1 L72 T-2
