The equation of a circle is given by $x^2+y^2=a^2$,where $a$ is the radius. If the equation is modified to change the origin to a point other than $(0,0)$,find the correct dimensions of $A$ and $B$ in the new equation: $(x-At)^2+(y-\frac{t}{B})^2=a^2$. The dimensions of $t$ are given as $[T^{-1}]$.

  • A
    $A=[L^{-1}T], B=[LT^{-1}]$
  • B
    $A=[LT], B=[L^{-1}T^{-1}]$
  • C
    $A=[L^{-1}T^{-1}], B=[LT^{-1}]$
  • D
    $A=[L^{-1}T^{-1}], B=[LT]$

In an experiment,four quantities $a, b, c,$ and $d$ are measured with percentage errors of $1\%, 2\%, 3\%,$ and $4\%$ respectively. The quantity $P$ is calculated as $P = \frac{a^3 b^2}{cd}$. The percentage error in $P$ is ........ $\%$

$A$ book with many printing errors contains four different formulas for the displacement $y$ of a particle undergoing a certain periodic motion:
$(a) \; y = a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$
$(b) \; y = a \sin v t$
$(c) \; y = \left(\frac{a}{T}\right) \sin \frac{t}{a}$
$(d) \; y = (a \sqrt{2}) \left(\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T} + \cos \frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$
($a =$ maximum displacement of the particle,$v =$ speed of the particle,$T =$ time-period of motion). Rule out the wrong formulas on dimensional grounds.
