What is Dimensional Analysis ? State uses of Dimensional Analysis.
A method of obtaining the solution of certain problems in physics by using dimensional formula is called dimensional analysis.
Uses of Dimensional Analysis :
$(a)$ To obtain the relation between the units of some physical quantity in two different systems of units.
$(b)$ To check the dimensional consistency of an equation connecting different physical quantities.
$(c)$ To derive the equation for a physical quantity in terms of the other (related) physical quantities.
