Question

The thrust developed by a rocket motor is given by $F = m v + A (P_{1} - P_{2})$ where $m$ is the mass, $v$ is the velocity of gas and $A$ is area of cross section of the nozzle. $P_{1}, P_{2}$ are pressures of the exhaust gas and surrounding atmosphere. Then this equation is:

Solution

The correct option is D dimensionally wrong
$F = m v + A (P_{1} - P_{2})$
Now, $[F] = [M^{1} L^{1} T^{- 2}]$
and, $[m v] = [M^{1} L^{1} T^{- 1}]$
Also, $[A (P_{1} - P_{2})] = [L^{2} \times (M^{1} L^{- 1} T^{- 2})$ $= [M^{1} L^{1} T^{- 2}]$
The two terms on the RHS of the equation have different dimensions and hence cannot be equated to the term on LHS.
$∵$ $[m v] \neq [F] = [A (P_{1} - P_{2})]$ ,
The equation is dimensionally wrong.
