What are limitation of dimensional analysis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Following are the limitations of dimensional analysis.
(i) It gives no information about pure numerics.
(ii) The dimensional analysis can not be used to derive a relation if the physical quantity depends upon more that three factors because we can get only three equations by equations the powers of M.L and T.
