If force [F], acceleration [A] and time [T] are chosen as the fundamental physical quantities. Find the dimensions of energy.

If force $[F]$, acceleration $[A]$ and time $[T]$ are chosen as the fundamental physical quantities. Find the dimensions of energy.
A $[F][A][T^2]$
B $[F][A][T^{-1}]$
C $[F][A^{-1}][T]$
D $[F][A][T]$

Detailed Solution

Let $E \propto F^aA^bT^c$ $[ML^2T^{-2}] = [MLT^{-2}]^a[LT^{-2}]^b[T]^c$ M: a = 1 ; L: a + b = 2 ⇒ b = 1 ; T: $-2a - 2b + c = -2$ ⇒ c = 2 $E = [F][A][T^2]$
