Question #142408

Displacement of a particle is given by y=ashinbx+csindt
where x is distance and t is time .
Find the dimension of constant

Expert's answer

The sine or cosine argument quantities should be dimentionless. Thus, if the dimentions of time is seconds ([t]=s[t] = s) then the dimentions of bb and dd are:


[b]=[d]=1s[b] = [d] = \dfrac{1}{s}

Again, the result of sine or cosine is dimentionless. Thus, if the dimention of distance is meter, then:


[a]=[c]=m[a] = [c] = m

Answer. The dimentions of aa and cc are meters. The dimentions of bb and dd are s1s^{-1}.
