Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity $X$ as follows: $[position] = [X^\alpha]$; $[speed] = [X^\beta]$; $[acceleration] = [X^p]$; $[linear momentum] = [X^q]$; $[force] = [X^r]$. Then -
$(A)$ $\alpha + p = 2\beta$
$(B)$ $p + q - r = \beta$
$(C)$ $p - q + r = \alpha$
$(D)$ $p + q + r = \beta$

Force $(F)$ and density $(d)$ are related as $F = \frac{\alpha}{\beta + \sqrt{d}}$. The dimensions of $\alpha$ are:

What is the dimensional formula of a physical quantity whose unit is $W/m^2$?

$A$ beaker contains a fluid of density $\rho \, kg/m^3$,specific heat $S \, J/kg \, ^\circ C$,and viscosity $\eta$. The beaker is filled up to height $h$. To estimate the rate of heat transfer per unit area $(Q/A)$ by convection when the beaker is placed on a hot plate,a student proposes that it should depend on $\eta$,$\left( \frac{S\Delta \theta}{h} \right)$,and $\left( \frac{1}{\rho g} \right)$,where $\Delta \theta$ (in $^\circ C$) is the temperature difference between the bottom and top of the fluid. In that situation,the correct option for $(Q/A)$ is:
