JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 1. units,dimensions and measurement

Applying the principle of homogeneity of dimensions, determine which one is correct. where \(\mathrm{T}\) is time period, \(\mathrm{G}\) is gravitational constant, \(M\) is mass, \(r\) is radius of orbit.

  1. A \(\mathrm{T}^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{GM}^2}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{T}^2=4 \pi^2 \mathrm{r}^3\)
  3. C  \(\mathrm{T}^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{r}^3}{G M}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{T}^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{r}^2}{G M}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C)  \(\mathrm{T}^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{r}^3}{G M}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to principle of homogeneity dimension of \(LHS\) should be equal to dimensions of RHS so option \((3)\) is correct. \(\mathrm{T}^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{r}^3}{\mathrm{GM}}\)…
