Solution

The correct option is (B)

Given equation is x(t)=(v0α)(1Cαt)

According to the question v0 is constant and α>0

Since C is constant so αt should be unit less

So unit of α=sec1=[T1]

x is length, so unit of x is meter.

v0=xα

v0=Msec1

So now we can say


v0=[LT1]

α=[T1]

So the dimensions are as above.
