Applications of Dimensional Analysis

If force (F), length (L) and time (T) are taken as the fundamental quantities. Then what will be the dimension of density:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. From F=maF = ma: [M]=[F][a]−1=F L−1T2[M] = [F][a]^{-1} = F\,L^{-1}T^{2}.
  2. Density ρ=ML3=F L−1T2⋅L−3\rho = \dfrac{M}{L^3} = F\,L^{-1}T^{2}\cdot L^{-3}.
  3. [ρ]=[FL−4T2][\rho] = [FL^{-4}T^{2}], so the answer is (a).
