The amount of heat energy $Q$ used to heat up a substance depends on its mass $m$,its specific heat capacity $s$,and the change in temperature $\Delta T$ of the substance. Using the dimensional method,find the expression for $s$. (Given that $[s] = [L^2 T^{-2} K^{-1}]$)

  • A
    $Q m \Delta T$
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q m}{\Delta T}$
  • D
    $\frac{m}{Q \Delta T}$

Consider the efficiency of Carnot's engine is given by $\eta = \frac{\alpha \beta}{\sin \theta} \log_{e} \frac{\beta x}{k T}$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants. If $T$ is temperature,$k$ is Boltzmann constant,$\theta$ is angular displacement and $x$ has the dimensions of length. Then,choose the incorrect option.

From the equation $\tan \theta = \frac{rg}{v^2}$,one can obtain the angle of banking $\theta$ for a cyclist taking a curve (the symbols have their usual meanings). Then say,it is
