According to Newton, the viscous force acting between liquid layers of area $A$ and velocity gradient $\Delta v/\Delta z$ is given by $F = – \eta A\frac{{\Delta v}}{{\Delta z}}$ where $\eta $ is constant called coefficient of viscosity. The dimension of $\eta $ are
A highly rigid cubical block $A$ of small mass $M$ and side $L$ is fixed rigidly onto another cubical block $B$ of the same dimensions and of low modulus of rigidity $\eta $ such that the lower face of $A$ completely covers the upper face of $B$. The lower face of $B$is rigidly held on a horizontal surface. A small force $F$ is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of $A$. After the force is withdrawn block $A$ executes small oscillations. The time period of which is given by
If speed $V,$ area $A$ and force $F$ are chosen as fundamental units, then the dimension of Young's modulus will be :
If force $(F)$, length $(L) $ and time $(T)$ are assumed to be fundamental units, then the dimensional formula of the mass will be
Let $[{\varepsilon _0}]$ denotes the dimensional formula of the permittivity of the vacuum and $[{\mu _0}]$ that of the permeability of the vacuum. If $M = {\rm{mass}}$, $L = {\rm{length}}$, $T = {\rm{Time}}$ and $I = {\rm{electric current}}$, then
