Consider a simple pendulum, having a bob attached to a string, that oscillates under the action of the force of gravity. Suppose that the period of oscillation of the simple pendulum depends on its length $(l)$, mass of the bob $(m)$ and acceleration due to gravity $(g)$. Derive the expression for its time period using method of dimensions.
$A, B, C$ and $D$ are four different physical quantities having different dimensions. None of them is dimensionless. But we know that the equation $AD = C\, ln\, (BD)$ holds true. Then which of the combination is not a meaningful quantity ?
Which of the following relation cannot be deduced using dimensional analysis? [the symbols have their usual meanings]
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 a 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 value of $a, b$ and $c$ are
