Applications of Dimensional Analysis

If mass is written as m=kcPG−1/2h1/2m = k\mathrm{c}^{\mathrm{P}}G^{-1/2}h^{1/2} then the value of PP will be: (Constants have their usual meaning with kk a dimensionless constant)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. [G−1/2]=M1/2L−3/2T1[G^{-1/2}] = M^{1/2}L^{-3/2}T^{1}, [h1/2]=M1/2L1T−1/2[h^{1/2}] = M^{1/2}L^{1}T^{-1/2}.
  2. Product: M L−1/2T1/2M\,L^{-1/2}T^{1/2}; with [cP]=LPT−P[c^P] = L^PT^{-P} the total is M LP−1/2T1/2−PM\,L^{P-1/2}T^{1/2-P}.
  3. For pure mass, P−12=0P - \frac{1}{2} = 0, so P=12P = \frac{1}{2}.
  4. So the answer is (c) 1/2.
