The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we will break down each statement and evaluate their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "Using dimensional analysis we can derive only those formula or relationship in which no plus sign or minus sign is involved." **Evaluation:** - Dimensional analysis is a method used to check the consistency of equations by comparing the dimensions of different physical quantities. - It is true that dimensional analysis is most effective when dealing with multiplicative relationships, but it can also be applied to additive relationships. - For example, in the equation \( s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 \), both terms on the right side can be added because they share the same dimensions (dimensions of length). - Therefore, Statement 1 is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "In dimensional analysis any incorrect equation may be dimensionally correct." **Evaluation:** - This statement implies that even if an equation is incorrect in terms of its physical meaning, it can still be dimensionally valid. - For example, the equation \( t = u - at \) is dimensionally correct, but it may not represent a physically valid relationship depending on the context. - Thus, Statement 2 is **true**. ### Conclusion - **Statement 1:** False - **Statement 2:** True ### Final Answer The correct option is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ---

The method of dimensional analysis can be used to derive which of the following relations?

Statement 1: Method of dimensions cannot tell whether an equations is correct. And Statement 2: A dimensionally incorrect equation may be correct.

Statement-I: Dimensional analysis can give us the numerical value of proportionality constants that may appear in an algebraic expression. Statement-II: Dimensional analysis make use of the fact that dimensions can be treated as algebraic quantities.

Using the dimensional analysis, check whether the following equation is correct or not: T=2pisqrt(R^(3)//GM) .

A particle of mass m is given an initial speed V_(0) . It experiences a retarding force that is proportional to the speed of the particle (F = aV). a is a constant. (a) Write the dimensional formula of constant a. (b) Using dimensional analysis, derive a formula for stopping time (t) of the particle. Does your formula tell you how 't' depends on initial speed V_(0) ? What can you predict about the constant obtained in the formula ?

Dimensionsal methods provide three major advantages in verification , deviation , and changing the system of units . Any empirical formula that is derived based on this method has to be verified and propportionality constants found by experimental means . The presence or absence of certain factors - non dimensional constants or variables - cannot be identified by this method . So every dimensionally correct relation cannot be taken as perfectly correct. If alpha kilogram , beta meter , and gamma second are the fundamental units , 1 cal can be expressed in new units as [ 1 cal = 4.2 J]

A particle of mass m is located in a region where its potential energy [U(x)] depends on the position x as potential Energy [U(x)]=(1)/(x^2)-(b)/(x) here a and b are positive constants… (i) Write dimensional formula of a and b (ii) If the time perios of oscillation which is calculated from above formula is stated by a student as T=4piasqrt((ma)/(b^2)) , Check whether his answer is dimensionally correct.
