Choose the correct set of dimensions of viscosity that are equivalent (where, F, M, L, T are dimensions for force, mass, length and time respectively) ?

Correct answer: A. FL-2T, ML-1T-1

  • A. FL-2T, ML-1T-1
  • B. FLT, ML-1T-1
  • C. ML-1T-3, F-1L2T
  • D. F-1L2T-1, MLT-3

Explanation

Dynamic viscosity has dimensions ML^-1T^-1. Since F = MLT^-2, this is also equivalent to FL^-2T, so both expressions in option a represent viscosity.
