Step-by-step solution

Here are the dimensions for the given quantities:

Part a· 2 steps

Momentum

  1. Recall the formula for momentum.

    Momentum (pp) is the product of mass (mm) and velocity (vv).

    p=mvp = mv
  2. Substitute the dimensions of mass and velocity.

    The dimension of mass is [M][M].
    The dimension of velocity is [L][T]−1[L][T]^{-1} (length per unit time).

    [p]=[M]×[L][T]−1[p] = [M] \times [L][T]^{-1}

    The dimension of momentum is [M][L][T]−1\boxed{\text{[M][L][T]}^{-1}}.

Part b

[M][L]−1[T]−2\text{[M][L]}^{-1}\text{[T]}^{-2}

Pressure

  1. Recall the formula for pressure.

    Pressure (PP) is force (FF) per unit area (AA).

    P=FAP = \frac{F}{A}
  2. Substitute the dimensions of force and area.

    The dimension of force is [M][L][T]−2[M][L][T]^{-2} (from F=maF=ma, where aa is acceleration [L][T]−2[L][T]^{-2}).
    The dimension of area is [L]2[L]^2.

    [P]=[M][L][T]−2[L]2=[M][L]1−2[T]−2[P] = \frac{[M][L][T]^{-2}}{[L]^2} = [M][L]^{1-2}[T]^{-2}

    The dimension of pressure is [M][L]−1[T]−2\boxed{\text{[M][L]}^{-1}\text{[T]}^{-2}}.

Part c

[M][T]−2\text{[M][T]}^{-2}

Surface Tension

  1. Recall the formula for surface tension.

    Surface tension (γ\gamma) is force (FF) per unit length (LL).

    γ=FL\gamma = \frac{F}{L}
  2. Substitute the dimensions of force and length.

    The dimension of force is [M][L][T]−2[M][L][T]^{-2}.
    The dimension of length is [L][L].

    [γ]=[M][L][T]−2[L]=[M][L]1−1[T]−2[\gamma] = \frac{[M][L][T]^{-2}}{[L]} = [M][L]^{1-1}[T]^{-2}

    The dimension of surface tension is [M][T]−2\boxed{\text{[M][T]}^{-2}}.

Part d

[M][L]2[T]−3\text{[M][L]}^2\text{[T]}^{-3}

Power

  1. Recall the formula for power.

    Power (PP) is work done (WW) per unit time (tt).

    P=WtP = \frac{W}{t}
  2. Substitute the dimensions of work and time.

    Work is force times distance (W=F⋅dW = F \cdot d).
    The dimension of force is [M][L][T]−2[M][L][T]^{-2}.
    The dimension of distance is [L][L].
    So, the dimension of work is [W]=[M][L][T]−2×[L]=[M][L]2[T]−2[W] = [M][L][T]^{-2} \times [L] = [M][L]^2[T]^{-2}.
    The dimension of time is [T][T].

    [P]=[M][L]2[T]−2[T]=[M][L]2[T]−2−1[P] = \frac{[M][L]^2[T]^{-2}}{[T]} = [M][L]^2[T]^{-2-1}

    The dimension of power is [M][L]2[T]−3\boxed{\text{[M][L]}^2\text{[T]}^{-3}}.
