The correct answer is:b)
Explanation:The equation for the change of position of the train is given by
, where
represents the position,
is a constant,
is the time, and
is the coefficient we need to find the dimensions for.To find the dimensions of
, we need to analyze the dimensions of each term in the equation.The dimensions of
are
(length), and the dimensions of
are
(time).The dimensions of the first term,
, are
(since
is dimensionless and
has dimensions of
).The dimensions of the second term,
, are also
(since
has dimensions of
and
has dimensions of
).Since the dimensions of both terms are the same (
), we can equate the dimensions of the coefficients:
Therefore, the dimensions of
are
.
