The mass of a liquid flowing per second per unit area of cross section of a tube is proportional to $P^x$ and $v^y$ , where $P$ is the pressure difference and $v$ is the velocity. Then, the relation between $x$ and $y$ is

A book with many printing errors contains four different formulas for the displacement $y$ of a particle undergoing a certain periodic motion:

$(a)\;y=a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$

$(b)\;y=a \sin v t$

$(c)\;y=\left(\frac{a}{T}\right) \sin \frac{t}{a}$

$(d)\;y=(a \sqrt{2})\left(\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}+\cos \frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$

$(a=$ maximum displacement of the particle, $v=$ speed of the particle. $T=$ time-period of motion). Rule out the wrong formulas on dimensional grounds.

Applying the principle of homogeneity of dimensions, determine which one is correct. where $\mathrm{T}$ is time period, $\mathrm{G}$ is gravitational constant, $M$ is mass, $r$ is radius of orbit.
