If momentum P, area A and time T are taken as fundamental quantities, then the dimensional formula for coefficient of viscosity is
  1. PA-1T0
  2. PAT-1
  3. PA-1T
  4. PA-1T-1

Solution

We know, Viscosity=Pascalsecond

Let η=PxAyTz=M1L-1T-1

M1L+1T-1xL2y T1z=M1L-1T-1

MxL+x+2yT-x+z=M1L-1T-1

From above, we have 

x=1  x+2y=-1  -x+z=-1

Solving above three equations, we get 

y=-1 and z=0

So, Viscosity =P1A-1T0
