The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) in the equation \( T = P^a D^b S^c \), where \( T \) is the period of a soap bubble under simple harmonic motion (SHM), we will use dimensional analysis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Dimensions**: - The dimension of time period \( T \) is given by: \[ [T] = M^0 L^0 T^1 \] - The dimension of pressure \( P \) is defined as force per unit area: \[ [P] = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{M L T^{-2}}{L^2} = M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2} \] - The dimension of density \( D \) is mass per unit volume: \[ [D] = \frac{M}{L^3} = M^1 L^{-3} T^0 \] - The dimension of surface tension \( S \) is force per unit length: \[ [S] = \frac{F}{L} = \frac{M L T^{-2}}{L} = M^1 L^0 T^{-2} \] 2. **Set Up the Dimensional Equation**: - The equation relating the dimensions is: \[ [T] = [P]^a [D]^b [S]^c \] - Substituting the dimensions we found: \[ M^0 L^0 T^1 = (M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2})^a (M^1 L^{-3} T^0)^b (M^1 L^0 T^{-2})^c \] 3. **Expand the Right-Hand Side**: - Expanding the right-hand side gives: \[ M^{a+b+c} L^{-a-3b} T^{-2a-2c} \] 4. **Equate Dimensions**: - Now, we equate the powers of \( M \), \( L \), and \( T \) from both sides: - For \( M \): \[ a + b + c = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] - For \( L \): \[ -a - 3b = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] - For \( T \): \[ -2a - 2c = 1 \quad \text{(3)} \] 5. **Solve the Equations**: - From equation (2): \[ a = -3b \quad \text{(4)} \] - Substitute (4) into (1): \[ -3b + b + c = 0 \implies -2b + c = 0 \implies c = 2b \quad \text{(5)} \] - Substitute (4) and (5) into (3): \[ -2(-3b) - 2(2b) = 1 \implies 6b - 4b = 1 \implies 2b = 1 \implies b = \frac{1}{2} \] - Substitute \( b \) back into (4) and (5): \[ a = -3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{3}{2} \] \[ c = 2 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 1 \] 6. **Final Values**: - The values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are: \[ a = -\frac{3}{2}, \quad b = \frac{1}{2}, \quad c = 1 \] ### Summary: The values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are: - \( a = -\frac{3}{2} \) - \( b = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( c = 1 \)
