        Given that the displacement of an oscillating particle is given by\[y=A\text{ }sin(Bx+Ct+D)\]. The dimensional formula for (ABCD) is

    A)  \[[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{0}}]\]                            

    B)  \[[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]

    C)  \[[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]                          

    D)  \[[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[y=A\text{ }sin(Bx+Ct+D)\] As each term inside the bracket is dimensionless, so                 \[A=y=[L]\]                 \[B=\frac{1}{x}=[{{L}^{-1}}]\]                 \[C=\frac{1}{t}=[{{T}^{-1}}]\] and D is dimensionless. \[\therefore \]  \[[ABCD]=[L][{{L}^{-1}}][{{T}^{-1}}][1]\]                 \[=[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]
