Answer:

(A) Consider the equation v = at
Carry out a dimension analysis on both sides.
The dimension of the left-hand side = image

image
The dimensions on both sides are the same.
Thus, the equation v = at is dimensionally consistent.

(B) Consider the equation image
Write the dimensions on both sides.
The dimension of the left-hand side = image

image
The dimensions on both sides are different.
Thus, the equation is dimensionally inconsistent.

( C) Consider the equation image
Carry out a dimension analysis on both sides.
The dimension of the left-hand side = [ T ]

image
The dimensions on both sides are different.
Thus, the equation is dimensionally inconsistent.

(D) Consider the equation image
Carry out a dimension analysis on both sides.
The dimension of the left-hand side = image
= image

The dimension of the right-hand side image
image
The dimensions on both sides are the same.
Thus, the equation is dimensionally consistent.
