A highly rigid cubical block A of small mass M and side L is fixed rigidly onto another cubical block B of the same dimensions and of low modulus of rigidity η such that the lower face of A completely covers the upper face of B. The lower face of B is rigidly held on a horizontal surface. A small force F is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of A. After the force is withdrawn block A executes small oscillations. The time period of which is given by

Explanation

Using dimensional analysis

By substituting the dimensions of mass [M], length [L] and coefficient of rigidity η as  [ML1T2] we get T=2πMηL is the right formula for time period of oscillations 

The pair(s) of physical quantities that have the do not have same dimensions, is (are)

Explanation

Pairs (1, 2, 3) have same dimensions

Reynolds number and coefficient of friction are dimensionless.

Latent heat and gravitational potential both have dimension [L2T2].

Curie and frequency of a light wave both have dimension [T1]. But dimensions of Planck's constant h is [ML2T1] and torque is [ML2T2]

Energy = h X frequency

The speed of light (c), gravitational constant (G) and Planck's constant (h) are taken as the fundamental units in a system. The dimension of time in this new system should be

Explanation

Time cxGyhzT=kcxGyhz

Putting the dimensions in the above relation

[M0L0T1]=[LT1]x[M1L3T2]y[ML2T1]z

[M0L0T1]=[My+zLx+3y+2zTx2yz]

Comparing the powers of M, L and T

y+z=0 …(i)

x+3y+2z=0 …(ii)

x2yz=1 …(iii)

On solving equations (i) and (ii) and (iii)

x=52,y=z=12

Hence dimension of time are [G1/2h1/2c5/2] 

If the constant of gravitation (G), Planck's constant (h) and the velocity of light (c) be chosen as fundamental units. The dimension of the radius of gyration is

Explanation

Let radius of gyration [k][h]x[c]y[G]z

By substituting the dimension of [k]=[L]

[h]=[ML2T1],[c]=[LT1],[G]=[M1L3T2]

and by comparing the power of both sides

we can get x=1/2,y=3/2,z=1/2

So dimension of radius of gyration are [h]1/2[c]3/2[G]1/2 

X = 3YZ2 find dimension of Y in (MKSA) system, if X and Z are the dimension of capacity and magnetic field respectively

Explanation

In given equation, αzkθ should be dimensionless

α=kθz[α]=[ML2T2K1×K][L]=[MLT2]

and P=α β[β]=[αp]=[MLT2][ML1T2]=[M0L2T0]

Explanation

Density, ρ=MV=Mπr2L

Δρρ=ΔMM+2Δrr+ΔLL

=0.0030.3+2×0.0050.5+0.066

=0.01+0.02+0.01=0.04

∴ Percentage error =Δρρ×100=0.04×100=4%
