Pressure $ P = { at ^2 \over bx } $ where x = distance, t= time find the dimensional formula for a/b
Given the equation for pressure $P = rac{at^2}{bx}$, we need to find the dimensional formula for $rac{a}{b}$. The dimensional formula for pressure $P$ is $ML^{-1}T^{-2}$. The dimensional formula for time $t$ is $T$ and for distance $x$ is $L$. Rewriting the given equation in terms of dimensional formulas, we have: $$ML^{-1}T^{-2} = rac{a imes T^2}{b imes L}$$ Solving for $rac{a}{b}$, we get: $$rac{a}{b} = ML^{-1}T^{-4}.$$
