The potential energy of a particle changes with distance \(x\) from a fixed origin as \(V = \dfrac{A\sqrt{x}}{x + B}\), where \(A\) and \(B\) are constant with appropriate dimensions. The dimensions of \(AB\) are _______.

  1. A \([M^1 L^{5/2} T^{-2}]\)
  2. B \([M^{3/2} L^{5/2} T^{-2}]\)
  3. C \([M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]\)
  4. D \([M^1 L^{7/2} T^{-2}]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \([M^1 L^{7/2} T^{-2}]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By the principle of dimensional homogeneity, quantities added or subtracted must have the same dimensions. In the denominator, \(B\) is added to \(x\) (distance). \([B] = [x] = [L]\) The dimensions of potential energy \(V\) are \([M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]\). From the given equation…
