The correct Answer is:
To check the correctness of the equation \( v = \frac{K \eta}{r \rho} \) using dimensional analysis, we will analyze the dimensions of each variable involved in the equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables and Their Dimensions**: - \( v \) (critical velocity): The dimension of velocity is given by: \[ [v] = [L T^{-1}] \] - \( K \) (Reynolds number): This is a dimensionless quantity, so: \[ [K] = 1 \] - \( \eta \) (coefficient of viscosity): The dimension of viscosity is: \[ [\eta] = [M L^{-1} T^{-1}] \] - \( r \) (radius): The dimension of radius is: \[ [r] = [L] \] - \( \rho \) (density): The dimension of density is: \[ [\rho] = [M L^{-3}] \] 2. **Substitute the Dimensions into the Right-Hand Side of the Equation**: The right-hand side of the equation is \( \frac{K \eta}{r \rho} \). We will substitute the dimensions we found: \[ [K \eta] = [1] \cdot [M L^{-1} T^{-1}] = [M L^{-1} T^{-1}] \] Now, substituting for \( r \) and \( \rho \): \[ [r \rho] = [L] \cdot [M L^{-3}] = [M L^{-2}] \] 3. **Combine the Dimensions**: Now, we can find the dimensions of \( \frac{K \eta}{r \rho} \): \[ \left[\frac{K \eta}{r \rho}\right] = \frac{[M L^{-1} T^{-1}]}{[M L^{-2}]} = [L^{1} T^{-1}] \] Here, the \( M \) in the numerator and denominator cancels out. 4. **Final Comparison**: Now, we compare the dimensions of the left-hand side \( [v] \) and the right-hand side \( \left[\frac{K \eta}{r \rho}\right] \): - Left-hand side: \( [v] = [L T^{-1}] \) - Right-hand side: \( \left[\frac{K \eta}{r \rho}\right] = [L T^{-1}] \) Since both sides have the same dimensions, we conclude that the equation is dimensionally correct. ### Conclusion: The equation \( v = \frac{K \eta}{r \rho} \) is dimensionally correct.
