Physics Question on Dimensional Analysis

The displacement of a particle moving along xx-axis with respect to time tt x=at+bt2+ct3x=at+bt^{2}+ct^{3} . The dimensions of cc are

A

T3T^{-3}

B

LT2LT^{-2}

C

LT3LT^{-3}

D

LT3LT^{3}

Answer

LT3LT^{-3}

Explanation

Solution

The displacement of a particle moving along xx -axis with respect to time tt
x=at+bt2ct3x=a t+b t^{2}-c t^{3}
Dimension of ct3=c t^{3}= Dimension of xx
[ct3]=[x]\left[c t^{3}\right]=[x]
or [c]=[L][T3][c]=\frac{[ L ]}{\left[ T ^{3}\right]}
Dimensions of c=[LT3]c=\left[ LT ^{-3}\right]
