Applications of Dimensional Analysis

The speed of a wave produced in water is given by v=λagbρcv = \lambda^{a}g^{b}\rho^{c}. Where λ,g\lambda, g and ρ\rho are wavelength of wave, acceleration due to gravity and density of water respectively. The values of a,ba, b and cc respectively, are:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. LT−1=La (LT−2)b (ML−3)cLT^{-1} = L^a\,(LT^{-2})^b\,(ML^{-3})^c.
  2. M: c=0c = 0; T: −2b=−1⇒b=12-2b = -1 \Rightarrow b = \frac{1}{2}; L: a+b−3c=1⇒a=12a + b - 3c = 1 \Rightarrow a = \frac{1}{2}.
  3. So the answer is (d) 12,12,0\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, 0.
