If force(F), velocity(V)and time(T)are considered as fundamental physical quantity, then dimensional formula of density will be :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The dimensional formula of force is

F=MLT-2

The dimensional formula of velocity is

V=LT-1

The formula for density is 

 Density =ML3=ML-3

Comparing the density dimensions with the assumed fundamental quantities in the question,
ML-3=FxVyTzML-3=MLT-2xLT-1y[T]zML-3=MxL(x+y)T-2x-y+z

Comparing the exponents,
x=1   ...(i)x+y=-3   ...(ii)-2x-y+z=0   ...(iii)

Solving equations (i), (ii) & (iii), we get

y=-4, z=-2.

The dimensions of density =FV-4T-2.
