Answer:

(Frequency)⁻³(velocity)⁴Density

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachments.

Let's see

Momentum be P


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P=[Frequency]^a[velocity]^b[Density]^c


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [P]=[F]^a[v]^b[D]^c


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [M^1L^1T^(-1)]=[T^(-1)]^a[L^1T^(-1)]^b[M^1L^(-3)]^c


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^(-1)=T^(-a)L^bT^(-b)M^cL^(-3c)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^(-1)=T^(-a-b)L^(b-3c)M^c

On comaparing

  • c=1

So

  • b-3c=1
  • b-3=1
  • b=1+3
  • b=4

and

  • -a-b=-1
  • -a-4=-1
  • -a=-1+4=3
  • a=-3

So the unit is

  • DV⁴/F³
