JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 13th April Evening Shift - No. 3)

In the equation $$\left[X+\frac{a}{Y^{2}}\right][Y-b]=\mathrm{R} T, X$$ is pressure, $$Y$$ is volume, $$\mathrm{R}$$ is universal gas constant and $$T$$ is temperature. The physical quantity equivalent to the ratio $$\frac{a}{b}$$ is:
Impulse
Energy
Pressure gradient
Coefficient of viscosity

Explanation

Given that, $$\left[X+\frac{a}{Y^{2}}\right][Y-b]=\mathrm{R} T$$

$$ \therefore $$ $X$ and $\frac{a}{Y^2}$ have the same dimensions and $Y$ and $b$ have the same dimensions, let's analyze the dimensions of $\frac{a}{b}$.

Since $X$ represents pressure, it has dimensions of $[M L^{-1} T^{-2}]$.

Since $X$ and $\frac{a}{Y^2}$ have the same dimensions, we have:

$$\left[\frac{a}{Y^2}\right] = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}]$$

Then, the dimensions of $a$ are:

$$[a] = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] [Y^2] = [M L^5 T^{-2}]$$

Now, since $Y$ and $b$ have the same dimensions and $Y$ represents volume, we have:

$$[b] = [L^3]$$

Now, let's find the dimensions of the ratio $\frac{a}{b}$:

$$\frac{[a]}{[b]} = \frac{[M L^5 T^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [M L^2 T^{-2}]$$

Indeed, the dimensions of $\frac{a}{b}$ are $[M L^2 T^{-2}]$, which corresponds to the dimensions of energy.
