$(1)$ In the dimensional equations containing $\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{L}$ and $\mathrm{T}$, we get at the best only three equations by equating the indices of $\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{L}$ and $\mathrm{T}$. Hence this method is of no avil in deducting the exact form of a physical relation which happens to depend upon more than three quantities.

$(2)$ The information about dimensionless constant cannot be obtained.

$(3)$ The equations containing exponential trigonometric functions lie quite outside the preview of this method.

$(4)$ This method is of no use if a constant of proportionally is not dimensionless.
