1. An air bubble formed by explosion inside water performed oscillations with time period T which is
directly proportional to 𝑃 𝑥 𝑑 𝑦 𝐸 𝑧, where P is pressure, d is density and E is the energy due to explosion.
Find the values of x, y and z.
2. Using the method of dimensions, check whether the given equation 𝑥 = 𝑎 cos(𝜔𝑡 + ∅) for the
displacement of a body executing S.H.M. with an angular velocity ‘ω’, amplitude ‘a’ and initial phase ‘∅′
is correct.
3. The speed v of ripples on the surface of water depends on surface tension σ, density ρ and wavelength
λ. The square of v is proportional to….
4. Find the dimensions of resistance in an electrical circuit in terms of dimension of mass M, length L, time T
and current A.
