The time of oscillation of a small drop ...

The time of oscillation of a small drop of liquid under surface tension depends upon the density `rho`, radius r and surface tension S as :
`T prop rho^(a) S^(b) r^(c)`
find out a, b and c.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`a=(1//2), b=(-1//2)` and `c=(3//2)`
`[T]=[M^(1)L^(-3)]^(a)[MT^(-2)]^(b)[L]^(c)`
Equate the exponents of similar quantities.

The time period (T) of small oscillations of the surface of a liquid drop depends on its surface tension (s), the density (rho) of the liquid and it's mean radius (r) as T = cs^(x) rho^(y)r^(z) . If in the measurement of the mean radius of the drop, the error is 2 % , the error in the measurement of surface tension and density both are of 1% . Find the percentage error in measurement of the time period.
