Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

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

melamori03 [73]

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)
