Potential energy is given by:
V = A√x / (x + B)
where A and B are constants.
Find the dimensions of A.
Potential energy has dimensions:
[V] = [M L² T−2]
Since x and B are added:
[B] = [L]
Expression:
V = A L1/2 / L
= A L−1/2
Therefore:
[A] = [V]L1/2
= [M L² T−2] L1/2
= [M L5/2 T−2]
Final Answer
[M L5/2 T−2]
