    The dimensions of \[\frac{a}{b}\] in the equation\[P=\frac{a-{{t}^{2}}}{bx}\]where P is pressure, \[x\] is distance and t is time, are:

    A)  \[\left[ {{M}^{2}}L{{T}^{-3}} \right]\]                     

    B)  \[\left[ M{{T}^{-2}} \right]\]

    C)  \[\left[ L{{T}^{-3}} \right]\]                        

    D)  \[\left[ M{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{-1}} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given \[P=\frac{a-{{t}^{2}}}{bx}\] or \[Pb\,x=a-{{t}^{2}}\] By the law of homogenity of dimensional equation. Dimensions of \[a=\] dimensions or \[{{t}^{2}}=[{{T}^{2}}]\] Dimensions of b = dimensions of \[\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{P\,x}\]                 \[=\,[{{M}^{-1}}{{T}^{4}}]\] So, dimensions of \[\frac{a}{b}\] is \[[M{{T}^{-2}}]\]
