To solve the problem of finding the values of \( x \) and \( y \) in the expression for velocity \( v = g^x h^y \) where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity and \( h \) is the height, we will use dimensional analysis. ### Step 1: Write down the dimensions of the quantities involved. - The dimension of velocity \( v \) is \( [v] = L T^{-1} \). - The dimension of acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is \( [g] = L T^{-2} \). - The dimension of height \( h \) is \( [h] = L \). ### Step 2: Express the dimensions of the right-hand side. ...
