The speed of a wave produced in water is given by $v=\lambda^a g^b \rho^c$. Where $\lambda$, g and $\rho$ are wavelength of wave, acceleration due to gravity and density of water respectively. The values of $a , b$ and $c$ respectively, are
$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, 0$
$1,1,0$
$1,-1,0$
$\frac{1}{2}, 0, \frac{1}{2}$
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.
To find the distance $d$ over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions, a railways engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $\rho$ of the fog, intensity (power/area) $S$ of the light from the signal and its frequency $f$. The engineer find that $d$ is proportional to $S ^{1 / n}$. The value of $n$ is:
The entropy of any system is given by
${S}=\alpha^{2} \beta \ln \left[\frac{\mu {kR}}{J \beta^{2}}+3\right]$
Where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the constants. $\mu, J, K$ and $R$ are no. of moles, mechanical equivalent of heat, Boltzmann constant and gas constant repectively. [Take ${S}=\frac{{dQ}}{{T}}$ ]
