3. Find the dimensions of a b in the relation: P = , where P is power, x is distance and t is time
4. The Vander Wall’s equation for gas is ( ) (V – b) = RT .Determine the dimensions of a and b. hence
write the SI units of a and b.
5. The orbital velocity of satellite may depend on its mass m, the distance r from the center of the earth and
acceleration due to gravity g. obtain an expression for its orbital velocity.
6. Assuming that the critical velocity vc of a viscous liquid following through a capillary tube depends only
upon the radius r of the tube, density and the coefficient of viscosity η of the liquid, find the expression for
critical velocity.
7. The depth x to which a bullet penetrates a human body depends upon (i) coefficient of elasticity η and (ii)
kinetic energy Ek. By the method of dimensions, show that : x * +1/3
8. A U – tube of uniform cross-section contains mercury upto a height h in either limb. The mercury in one
limb is depressed a little and then released. Obtain an expression for the time period of oscillation assuming
that T depends on h, and g.
