Question

The dimensions of solar constant (energy falling on earth per second per unit area) are (A) [ M 0 L 0 T 0] (B) [ MLT -2] (C) [ ML 2 T -2] (D) [ M T -3]

Solar constant [S]=( text Energy / text Area × text Time ) =(M L2 T-2/L2 T) ⇒ [M T-3]

Q. The dimensions of solar constant (energy falling on earth per second per unit area) are

$[M^{0} L^{0} T^{0}]$

$[M L T^{- 2}]$

$[M L^{2} T^{- 2}]$

$[M T^{- 3}]$

Solar constant $[S] = \frac{Energy}{Area \times Time}$
$= \frac{M L ^{2} T ^{- 2}}{L ^{2} T} \Rightarrow [M T^{- 3}]$

Q. The dimensions of solar constant (energy falling on earth per second per unit area) are

[M0L0T0]

[MLT−2]

[ML2T−2]

[MT−3]

Solar constant [S]= Area × Time Energy ​ =L2TML2T−2​⇒[MT−3]

$[M^{0} L^{0} T^{0}]$

$[M L T^{- 2}]$

$[M L^{2} T^{- 2}]$

$[M T^{- 3}]$

Solar constant $[S] = \frac{Energy}{Area \times Time}$
$= \frac{M L ^{2} T ^{- 2}}{L ^{2} T} \Rightarrow [M T^{- 3}]$
