Solution

The correct option is: (B)

Given Data:

The position of a particle at time t is given by the relation; x(t)=voα(1cαt)

Dimension of length, =[L]

Since, c is constant, so αt should be unitless,

So, αt=[M0L0T0]

α[T]=[M0L0T0]

α=[T1]

p

utting value of dimension on both side of equation:

[L]=voα

[L]=vo[T1]

vo=[LT1]

So, dimension of

α=[T1]

, and

vo=[LT1]
