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 train whistle is 580 Hz when stationary. It is moving away from you at 18.8 m/s. What frequency do you hear?
Natalija [7]

Answer

613.63Hz

Explanation:

Fobs = (V/V-Vsource)Force

V=speed of sound

Fobs= (343/343-18.8)580

Fobs= 613.63Hz

Fobs = frequency observed

jekas [21]
It shows that the airplane covers equal distance in equal time interval, that's it has a straight line from the origin.

The plane is moving at uniform speed.

babunello [35]

Answer:

he maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum

 f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise, where the sound source is moving

           f = fo \frac{v}{v-v)s}      when the source moves towards the observer

           f ’=f_o  \frac{v}{v+v_{sy}}  Alexandrian source of the observer

the maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum, for both it is the point of maximum approach of the two objects

          f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

E fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe corresponds to the middle c (261.6 hz on the chromatic musical scale). the third r
luda_lava [24]

The wavelength of the third resonance of the closed organ pipe is equal to the ratio between the speed of sound and the frequency of the 3rd harmonic:

\lambda_3 = \frac{c}{f_3}=\frac{343 m/s}{261.6 Hz} =1.31 m

The relationship between length of a closed pipe and wavelength of the standing waves inside is:

L=\frac{n}{4}\lambda_n

where n is the number of the harmonic. In this case, n=3, so the length of the pipe is

L=\frac{3}{4}(1.31 m)=0.98 m
