Hello everyone. This is a question about Dimensional Analysis and I came across this question but I am unable to wrap my head ar

ound it. Its a new topic for me and am a bit confused how it works. The question seems simple but cant seem to get to the correct answer. The question:
An equation has three variables A,B and C.
A = B^2 + 2B^4/C . If the dimension of A is [L]^2/[T]^2, what must be the dimensions of B and C?

Options:
1. [B] = [L]^2/[T]^2 and [C] = [L]/[T]
2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]
3. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = (1/2)[T]/[L]
4. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [T]/[L]
5. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = (1/2)[L]/[T]

Would be really helpful if someone could explain it. Thank you

Answer:

2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]

Explanation:

I assume you mean this:

A = B² + 2B⁴/C²

Since you can't add numbers with different units (for example, you can't add seconds to meters), each term in the sum must have the same units as A.

B² = [L]²/[T]²

B = [L]/[T]

B⁴/C² = [L]²/[T]²

C²/B⁴ = [T]²/[L]²

C² = B⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = ([L]/[T])⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = [L]²/[T]²

C = [L]/[T]

Notice we ignore the 2 coefficient, which is unitless.

A pump is used to transport water to a higher reservoir. if the water temperature is 15ºc, determine the lowest pressure that ca
Reika [66]
Normally, the water pressure inside a pump is higher than the vapor pressure: in this case, at the interface between the liquid and the vapor, molecules from the liquid escapes into vapour form. Instead, when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure, molecules of vapour can go inside the water forming bubbles: this phenomenon is called cavitation. 

So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at 15^{\circ} is 1.706 kPa. Therefore, the lowest pressure that can exist in the pump without cavitation, at this temperature, is exactly this value: 1.706 kPa.
