Applications of Dimensional Analysis

Velocity (v) and acceleration (a) in two systems of units 1 and 2 are related as v2=nm2v1v_2 = \frac{n}{m^2}v_1 and a2=a1mna_2 = \frac{a_1}{mn} respectively. Here m and n are constants. The relations for distance and time in two systems respectively are:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. v=L/Tv = L/T and a=L/T2a = L/T^2, so T=v/aT = v/a and L=v2/aL = v^2/a.
  2. T2=v2a2=n/m21/(mn) T1=n2mT1T_2 = \dfrac{v_2}{a_2} = \dfrac{n/m^2}{1/(mn)}\,T_1 = \dfrac{n^2}{m}T_1.
  3. L2=v22a2=n2/m41/(mn) L1=n3m3L1L_2 = \dfrac{v_2^2}{a_2} = \dfrac{n^2/m^4}{1/(mn)}\,L_1 = \dfrac{n^3}{m^3}L_1.
  4. So the answer is (a).
