Options:
  • A $\frac{\mathrm{v}^{2} \varrho}{\mathrm{T}}$
  • B $\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{v}^{2} \varrho}$
  • C $\mathrm{T}^{2} \varrho \mathrm{v}$
  • D $\mathrm{Tv}^{2} \varrho$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{v}^{2} \varrho}$
$(\mathrm{C})$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{V} &=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{m}}} \end{aligned}\left[\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{L}}=\frac{\mathrm{AL} \rho}{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{A\rho}\right]$
$\therefore \mathrm{V}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{A} \rho}}$
$\therefore \mathrm{V}^{2}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{A} \rho}$
$\mathrm{A}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{V}^{2} \rho}$
