Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Simplify the dimensions for part (i).

    We are given the product of dimensions [M−1L3T−1][M2L−2][M^{-1}L^3T^{-1}][M^2L^{-2}].
    To simplify, we add the exponents for each base dimension (M, L, T):
    For M: −1+2=1-1 + 2 = 1
    For L: 3+(−2)=13 + (-2) = 1
    For T: −1-1
    The resulting dimension is [MLT−1][MLT^{-1}]. This is the dimension for momentum (mass ×\times velocity).

  2. Simplify the dimensions for part (ii).

    We are given the product of dimensions [M][L−3][T−2][L][M][L^{-3}][T^{-2}][L].
    To simplify, we add the exponents for each base dimension (M, L, T):
    For M: 1
    For L: −3+1=−2-3 + 1 = -2
    For T: −2-2
    The resulting dimension is [ML−2T−2][ML^{-2}T^{-2}]. This is the dimension for force density (force per unit volume). Force has dimensions [MLT−2][MLT^{-2}] and volume has dimensions [L3][L^3], so force density is [MLT−2][L3]=[ML−2T−2]\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [ML^{-2}T^{-2}].

  3. Simplify the dimensions for part (iii).

    We are given the product of dimensions [M][L2][T−2][M][L^2][T^{-2}].
    To simplify, we add the exponents for each base dimension (M, L, T):
    For M: 1
    For L: 2
    For T: −2-2
    The resulting dimension is [ML2T−2][ML^2T^{-2}]. This is the dimension for energy or work (e.g., force ×\times distance). Force has dimensions [MLT−2][MLT^{-2}] and distance has dimensions [L][L], so work is [MLT−2]×[L]=[ML2T−2][MLT^{-2}] \times [L] = [ML^2T^{-2}].

    The physical quantities are:

    • (i) Momentum\boxed{\text{Momentum}}
    • (ii) Force density\boxed{\text{Force density}}
    • (iii) Energy or Work\boxed{\text{Energy or Work}}
