    The displacement of oscillating body is given by\[y=A\text{ }sin(B+Ct+D)\]. The dimensions of ABCD are

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[y=A\sin (Bx+Ct+D)\] Each unit is dimensionless in bracket, then \[A=y=[L]\] \[B=1=[{{L}^{-1}}]\] \[C=\frac{1}{t}=[{{T}^{-1}}]\] D is dimensionless \[\therefore \] \[[ABCD]=[L][{{L}^{-1}}][{{T}^{-1}}]=[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]
