Let force $F=A \sin (C t)+B \cos (D x)$ where $x$ and $t$ are displacement and time respectively. The dimensions of $\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{D}}$ are same as dimensions of
  1. angular Velocity
  2. angular monnentun
  3. Velocity gradient
  4. Velocity

Solution

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{A} \sin \mathrm{Ct}+\mathrm{B} \cos \mathrm{Dx}$ Since the argument of trigonometric functions is the angle, which is dimensionless $\begin{aligned} & \therefore[\mathrm{Ct}]=\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{0} \mathrm{~T}^{0} \\ & \Rightarrow\left[\mathrm{CT}^{1}\right]=\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{0} \mathrm{~T}^{0} \\ & \Rightarrow[\mathrm{C}]=\mathrm{T}^{-1}...(1) \end{aligned}$ Similarly $\begin{aligned} &[\mathrm{Dx}]=\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{0} \mathrm{~T}^{0} \\ \Rightarrow &\left[\mathrm{DL}^{1}\right]=\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{0} \mathrm{~T}^{0} \\ \Rightarrow &[\mathrm{D}]=\mathrm{L}^{-1}...(2) \end{aligned}$
