The energy E of an oscillating body in simple harmonic motion depends on its mass m, frequency n and amplitude a. Using the method of dimensional analysis, find the relation analysis, find the relation between E, m, n and a.

a
x=-1, y=2, z=2
b
x=1, y=2, z=2
c
x=2, y=2, z=2
d
x=-2, y=2, z=2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

[E]=k[ m]x[n]y[a]zwhere, k is a dimensionless constant.    ∴  ML2 T-2=k[M]x T-1y[ L]zSolving, we getx=1, y=2 and z=2    ∴E=kmn2a2
