Question

In the equation y =cnat2 you wish to determine theinteger value (1,2 etc.) of the exponent n. the dimensions ofy, a, and t are known. it is also known that chas no dimensions. can dimensional analysis be used to determinen?

Answer 1

NO.  Since "c" has no dimensions, the value of its exponent "n" is irrelevant to dimensional analysis, and thus dimension analysis cannot be used to determine the value of "n".

Dimensional analysis is not applicable to proportionality constants, trigonometrical or exponential equations, equation consisting of sum or difference of some quantities and equation consisting of more than three fundamental quantities.

What is Dimensional analysis?

• Dimensional Analysis is a problem-solving technique that makes use of the fact that any number or expression can be multiplied by one without changing its value.
• It is also known as the Factor-Label Method or the Unit Factor Method. It is a practical method.

What is a dimensional analysis used for?

Dimensional analysis is a method used in engineering and the physical sciences to reduce physical properties like acceleration, viscosity, and energy to their three basic dimensions of length, mass, and time (T).
