The volume of liquid flowing per second is called the volume flow rate Q and has the dimensions of [L]3/[T]. The flow rate of li

quid through a hypodermic needle during an injection can be estimated with the following equation. Q = πRn P2 − P1 8ηL The length and radius of the needle are L and R, respectively, both of which have the dimension [L]. The pressures at opposite ends of the needle are P2 and P1, both of which have the dimensions of [M]/{[L][T]2}. The symbol η represents the viscosity of the liquid and has the dimensions of [M]/{[L][T]}. The symbol π stands for pi and, like the number 8 and the exponent n, has no dimensions. Using dimensional analysis, determine the value of n in the expression for Q.

Answer: n=4

Explanation:

We have the following expression for the volume flow rate Q of a hypodermic needle:

Q=\frac{\pi R^{n}(P_{2}-P_{1})}{8\eta L}  (1)

Where the dimensions of each one is:

Volume flow rate Q=\frac{L^{3}}{T}

Radius of the needle R=L

Length of the needle L=L

Pressures at opposite ends of the needle P_{2} and P_{1}=\frac{M}{LT^{2}}

Viscosity of the liquid \eta=\frac{M}{LT}

We need to find the value of n whicha has no dimensions, and in order to do this, we have to rewritte (1) with its dimensions:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi L^{n}(\frac{M}{LT^{2}})}{8(\frac{M}{LT}) L}  (2)

We need the right side of the equation to be equal to the left side of the equation (in dimensions):

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{n}}{LT}  (3)

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{n-1}}{T}  (4)

As we can see n must be 4 if we want the exponent to be 3:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{4-1}}{T}  (5)

Finally:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{3}}{T}  (6)

A bicycle rim has a diameter of 0.65 m and a moment of inertia, measured about its center, of 0.21 kg⋅m2What is the mass of the
stepan [7]

Answer:

m = 1.99 kg = 2 kg

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a bicycle rim about it's center is given by the following formula:

I = mr^{2}\\

where,

I = Moment of Inertia of the Bicycle Rim = 0.21 kg.m²

r = Radius of the Bicycle Rim = Diameter of the Bicycle Rim/2

r = 0.65 m/2 = 0.325 m

m = Mass of the Bicycle Rim = ?

Therefore,

0.21\ kg.m^{2} = m(0.325\ m)^{2}\\m = \frac{0.21\ kg.m^{2}}{(0.325\ m)^{2}}\\

<u>m = 1.99 kg = 2 kg</u>
