Find the dimensional formula for linear momentum
Answers
linear momentum p is defined to be p = mv, where m is the mass of the system and v is its velocity. The SI unit for momentum is kg.
angular momentum = mass*velocity*radius = [ML∧2T∧-1]
momentum = mass* velocity= [MLT∧-1]
so the ratio will be [M∧0LT∧0]
It can be solved with help of using dimension concepts .
Dimension of linear momentum, P = [ MLT⁻¹]
Dimension of velocity, v = [LT⁻¹]
Dimension of density, d = [ML⁻³]
Dimension of frequency , f = [T⁻¹]
Let relation between linear momentum , velocity , density and frequency is
P = v^a d^b f^c
MLT⁻¹= [LT⁻¹]^a [ML⁻³]^b [T⁻¹]^c
MLT − 1] = [M b ] [L a−3b ] [T −a−c]
Compare both sides,
b = 1 ,
a - 3b = 1 ⇒ a - 3×1 = 1 ⇒ a = 4
- a - c = -1 ⇒ -4 - c = -1 ⇒ c = -3
Hence , relation is linear momentum, P = velocity^4 . Density/ frequency ^3
Similarly you can got the relation between , surface tension , velocity , density and frequency .
Dimension of surface tension = [MT⁻²]
∴ [MT⁻²] = [LT⁻¹]ᵃ [ML⁻³]ᵇ [T⁻¹]ˣ
= [Mᵇ ][Lᵃ⁻³ᵇ] [T⁻ᵃ⁻ˣ]
Compare both sides,
b = 1
a - 3b = 0 ⇒ a = 3
-a - x = -2 ⇒x = -1
Hence, relation is surface tension = Velocity^3 . Density/ frequency
