Study Notes
Units and Dimensions
- Bernoulli's theorem can be expressed as
P1 + ρv2/2 + ρgh = constant
, where the dimensions of the constant on the right-hand side areM1L2T–2
. - Pressure gradient
dp/dx
is the rate of change of pressure with distance, and its dimensions areML–2T–2
. - If energy (E), velocity (V), and force (F) are taken as fundamental physical quantities, then the dimensions of mass are
EV–2
. - Two physical quantities A and B having different dimensions cannot be added, but their ratio
A/B
is dimensionally correct. - If
x = at + bt2
, wherex
is in meters andt
is in hours, then the unit ofb
ism/hr2
.
Waves and Oscillations
- The equation of a stationary wave is
y = 2A sin(2πct/λ) cos(2πx/λ)
, wherec
is the velocity of the wave andλ
is its wavelength. - The unit of
ct
is same as that ofλ
, and the unit of2π c/λ
is same as that of2πx/λt
.
Oscillations
- The time period of a body under simple harmonic motion (SHM) is represented by
T ∝ PaDbSc
, whereP
is pressure,D
is density, andS
is surface tension. - The dimensional representation of torque in a system with basic dimensions as density
[D]
, velocity[V]
, and area[A]
is[A3/2V2D]
.
Unit Conversions
- If the unit of length, mass, and time each be doubled, the unit of work is increased by 2 times.
