Question

If velocity, force and time are considered as fundamental quantities, then obtain the dimensional formula of mass.

Answer 1

From Newton’s law of motion,

\(\frac{F}{a} = \frac{f}{\frac{v}{t}} = \frac{F.t}{v}\)

According to question F, t and v are fundamental quantities. Therefore,

Dimensional formula of m = [F¹v^-1t¹]
