In a typical combustion engine the work done by a gas molecule is given \(W =\alpha^{2} \beta e ^{\frac{-\beta x ^{2}}{ KT }}\), where \(x\) is the displacement, \(k\) is the Boltzmann constant and \(T\) is the temperature. If \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are constants, dimensions of \(\alpha\) will be

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left[ M ^{0} LT ^{0}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(kT\) has dimension of energy

\(\frac{\beta x ^{2}}{ kT }\) is dimensionless

\([\beta]\left[ L ^{2}\right]=\left[ ML ^{2} T ^{-2}\right]\)

\([\beta]=\left[ MT ^{-2}\right]\)

\(\alpha^{2} \beta\) has dimensions of work

\(\left[\alpha^{2}\right]\left[ MT ^{-2}\right]=\left[ ML ^{2} T ^{-2}\right]\)

\([\alpha]=\left[ M ^{0} LT ^{0}\right]\)
