A liquid drop placed on a horizontal plane has a near spherical shape (slightly flattened due to gravity). Let R be the radius of its largest horizontal section. A small disturbance causes the drop to vibrate with frequency v about its equilibrium shape. By dimensional analysis the ratio `(v)/(sqrt(sigma//rho R^(3)))` can be (Here `sigma` is surface tension, `rho` is density, g is acceleration due to gravity, and k is arbitrary dimensionless constant)–

A

`k rhog R^(2)//sigma`

B

`k rho R^(2)//g sigma`

C

`k rho R^(3)//g sigma`

D

`k rho//g sigma`

Test if the following equation is dimensionally correct: h= ((sS cos theta)/(r p g)) where h= height, S= surface tension, p= density, r=radius, and g= acceleration due to gravity.

If g is the acceleration due to gravity and R is the radius of earth, then the dimensional formula for g R is

If h is the rise of water in a capillary tube of radius r, then the work done by the force of surface tension is (rho is density g = ("acc")^(n) due to gravity )

Given as : h=(2 S cos theta)/(r rhog) where S is the surface tension of liquid, r is the radius of capillary tube. rho is the density and g is acceleration due to gravity then dimensional formula for S is:
