Physical World Units And Measurements Ques 17
17. The force $F$ on a sphere of radius ’ $a$ ’ is moving in a medium with velocity $v$ is given by $F=$ $6 \pi \eta$ av. The dimensions of $\eta$ are
[1997]
(a) $[ML^{-3}]$
(c) $[ML^{-1}]$
(b) $[ML^{-2}]$
(d) $[ML^{-1} T^{-1}]$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 17.(d)
Solution:
- (d) $F=6 \pi \eta a v$
$ \eta=\frac{F}{6 \pi a v}=\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[L][LT^{-1}]}=[ML^{-1} T^{-1}] $
