Assertion $(A) :$ To check the dimensional correctness of an equation,we use the principle of homogeneity of dimensions.
Reason $(R) :$ If the dimensions of all terms in the equation are not the same,then the equation is wrong.

    Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
  • B
    Both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
  • C

Density of a liquid in $CGS$ system is $0.625 \ g/cm^3$. What is its magnitude in $SI$ system?

Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force $F$ experienced by a sphere of radius $a$,moving with a speed $v$ through a fluid with coefficient of viscosity $\eta$,is given by $F=6 \pi \eta a v$. If this fluid is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of radius $r$,length $l$ and pressure difference of $p$ across its two ends,then the volume of water $V$ which flows through the pipe in time $t$ can be written as $\frac{V}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$,where $k$ is a dimensionless constant. Correct values of $a, b$ and $c$ are
