Dimensional Analysis of Physical Quantities

This solution matches physical quantities from LIST-I with their correct dimensional formulas from LIST-II.

A. Gravitational Constant Dimensions

Newton's law of gravitation is $F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$. Solving for G yields $G = \frac{F r^2}{m_1 m_2}$.

  • Dimensions of Force (F): $[MLT^{-2}]$
  • Dimensions of distance (r): $[L]$
  • Dimensions of mass (m): $[M]$
  • Dimensions of G: $\frac{[MLT^{-2}][L]^2}{[M][M]} = \frac{[ML^3T^{-2}]}{[M^2]} = [M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}]$
  • This matches LIST-II item IV.

B. Gravitational Potential Energy Dimensions

Gravitational potential energy is a form of energy. Energy has dimensions equivalent to work (Force × Distance).

  • Dimensions of Force (F): $[MLT^{-2}]$
  • Dimensions of Distance: $[L]$
  • Dimensions of Gravitational Potential Energy: $[MLT^{-2}] \times [L] = [ML^2T^{-2}]$
  • This matches LIST-II item III.

C. Gravitational Potential Dimensions

Gravitational potential is defined as potential energy per unit mass ($V = U/m$).

  • Dimensions of Potential Energy (U): $[ML^2T^{-2}]$
  • Dimensions of Mass (m): $[M]$
  • Dimensions of Gravitational Potential: $\frac{[ML^2T^{-2}]}{[M]} = [L^2T^{-2}]$
  • This matches LIST-II item II.

D. Acceleration due to Gravity Dimensions

Acceleration due to gravity is a measure of acceleration.

  • Dimensions of Acceleration: $[LT^{-2}]$
  • This matches LIST-II item I.

Final Matching and Answer

The correct pairings are:

  • A. Gravitational constant ⇒ IV. $[M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}]$
  • B. Gravitational potential energy ⇒ III. $[ML^2T^{-2}]$
  • C. Gravitational potential ⇒ II. $[L^2T^{-2}]$
  • D. Acceleration due to gravity ⇒ I. $[LT^{-2}]$

This combination corresponds to A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
