Three quantities are given: A = 5.0 m3/kg·s 2 , B = 2.0 m/s, and C = 8.0 kg·m2/s. Using dimensional analysis determine the simplest algebraic combination of these three quantities that has the dimensions of length and compute its value in meters (Answer: 2.2 m

Solutions

Expert Solution

here Length(L) AP   ( L is directly proportional to AP)

L Bq

L   Cr

By combining all, L AP Bq Cr

L = K AP Bq Cr ------------------1 ( K = constant of proportionality)

Now write dimension formula on both sides of eq.1 ( for A = [ L3M-1T-2 ] , B = [ L T-1 ] , C = [ M L2 T-1 ] . here K being constant has no dimension)

[ M0 L1T0 ] = [ L3 M-1 T-2 ] P  [ L T-1 ] q   [ M L2T-1 ]r

on rearranging this:

[ M0 L1 T0 ] = [ M-P+r   L3P+q+2r   T-2P-q-r  ]

Now comparing the powers of M, L and T on both sides:

- P +r = 0 -----------------2 , P = r

3P +q +2r = 1 --------------------------3

-2P - q -r = 0 ----------------------4

on solving eq. 2,3,& 4 we will get:

P = 1/2, q = -3/2, r = 1/2

Now put this values in eq.1:

L = K A1/2 B-3/2 C 1/2

L = ( AC/ B3 ) 1/2   ( Let K =1 being constant)

This is the algebraic equation that has the dimension of length.

Now put the value of A,B,C to find Length

L = ( 5*8 / 23 ) 1/2

L = 2.23 m
