Vedclass · Answer

(D) The potential energy $V$ has dimensions of work or energy,which is $[M L^2 T^{-2}]$.In the denominator $(x + B)$,since $x$ is a distance,the dimension of $B$ must be the same as the dimension of $x$. Therefore,$[B] = [L]$.The expression is $V = \frac{A\sqrt{x}}{x + B}$. Rearranging for $A$,we get $A = \frac{V(x + B)}{\sqrt{x}}$.Substituting the dimensions: $[A] = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-2}] [L]}{[L^{1/2}]} = [M L^2 T^{-2}] [L^{1/2}] = [M L^{5/2} T^{-2}]$.Now,the dimension of $AB$ is $[A][B] = [M L^{5/2} T^{-2}] [L] = [M L^{7/2} T^{-2}]$.

The potential energy of a particle varies with distance $x$ from a fixed origin as $V = \frac{A\sqrt{x}}{x + B}$,where $A$ and $B$ are constants. The dimensions of $AB$ are
