$A$ liquid drop placed on a horizontal plane has a near spherical shape (slightly flattened due to gravity). Let $R$ be the radius of its largest horizontal section. $A$ small disturbance causes the drop to vibrate with frequency $v$ about its equilibrium shape. By dimensional analysis,the ratio $\frac{v}{\sqrt{\sigma / \rho R^3}}$ can be (Here,$\sigma$ is surface tension,$\rho$ is density,$g$ is acceleration due to gravity and $k$ is an arbitrary dimensionless constant)

  • A
    $k \rho g R^2 / \sigma$
  • B
    $k \rho R^3 / g \sigma$
  • C
    $k \rho R^2 / g \sigma$
  • D
    $k \rho / g \sigma$

The frequency $(v)$ of an oscillating liquid drop may depend upon the radius $(r)$ of the drop,the density $(\rho)$ of the liquid,and the surface tension $(s)$ of the liquid as: $v = r^{a} \rho^{b} s^{c}$. The values of $a, b,$ and $c$ respectively are:

$A$ wave pulse can travel along a tense string like a violin string. $A$ series of experiments showed that the wave velocity $V$ of a pulse depends on the following quantities: the tension $T$ of the string,the cross-sectional area $A$ of the string,and the density $\rho$ (mass per unit volume) of the string. Obtain an expression for $V$ in terms of $T$,$A$,and $\rho$ using dimensional analysis.
