MCQ
Even if a physical quantity depends upon three quantities, out of which two are dimensionally same, then the formula cannot be derived by the method of dimensions. This statement
  • A
    May be true
  • B
    May be false
  • Must be true
  • D
    Must be false

Answer

Correct option: C.
Must be true
c
(c)

This statement is completely correct. If a quantity depends upon two other quantities which are dimensionally same then formula's validity can be checked but it can't be derived by the method of dimensions.

A ball of mass $160\, g$ is thrown up at an angle of $60^o$ to the horizontal at a speed of $10\, m\,s^{-1}$ . The angular momentum of the ball at the highest point of the trajectcry with respect to the point from which the ball is thrown is nearly ........ $kg\, m^2/s$  $(g\, = 10\, m\,s^{-2})$
A block of mass $15 \,kg $ is resting on a rough inclined plane as shown in figure. The  block is tied up by a horizontal string which has tension of $50\,N$. The minimum  coefficient of friction between the surfaces of contact is $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$
Two particle of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2 \mathrm{a}$. The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance $'a'$ from the center $\mathrm{P}$ (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force $F$. As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes $2 \mathrm{x}$ is
