A

$ML{T^{ - 3}}$ and $M{L^2}{T^{ - 4}}$

B

$ML{T^{ - 3}}$ and $ML{T^{ - 4}}$

C

$ML{T^{ - 1}}$ and $ML{T^0}$

D

$ML{T^{ - 4}}$ and $ML{T^1}$

A force $F$ is given by $F = at + b{t^2}$, where $t$ is time. What are the dimensions of $a$ and $b$

From the principle of dimensional homogenity $[a] = \left[ {\frac{F}{t}} \right] = [ML{T^{ - 3}}]$ and $[b] = \left[ {\frac{F}{{{t^2}}}} \right] = [ML{T^{ - 4}}]$
