Let us consider n equation , `(1//2)mv^2` =mgh, where m is the mass of the body, v its velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. Check whether this equation is dimensionally correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The dimensions o LHS= `[M][LT^-1]^2=[ML^2T^-2]`
The dimensions of RHS=`[M][LT^1][L]=[ML^2T^-2]`
Since the dimensions of LHS and RHS are the same , the equation is dimensionally correct .

Consider a simple pendulum having a bob attached to a string that oscillates under the action of the force of gravity. Suppose that the period of oscillation of the simple pendulum depends on its length (l) , mass of the bob (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g). Derive the expression for its time period using the method of dimensions.

Considering the earth as a uniform sphere of radius R show that if the acceleration due to gravity at a height h from the surface of earth is equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the same depth, then h=1/2(sqrt(5)-1)R.

Considering the earth as a uniform sphere of radius R show that if the acceleration due to gravity at a height h from the surface of earth is equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the same depth, then h= 1/2(sqrt5-1) R

Acceleration of a body is given by a = 2sqrt(t) , where t is the time. If the body starts from rest what will be its velocity and acceleration 4 s later ? [ SI units are to be used ]
