Questions  

If momentum (P), area (A) and time (T) are taken to be the fundamental quantities, then the dimensional formula for energy is:

a
PA1/2T−1
b
P1/2AT−1
c
P2AT−2
d
PA−1T−2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let Energy be expressed as powers of momentum(P), Area (A) and time (T), thenE=PaAbTc​M1L2T−2=M1L1T−1aL2bTccomparing powers on both sides, 1 = a                         2 = a + 2b                -2 = -a + c∴ b = 1/2  and   c = -1 E=PA12T−1
