According to Maxwell - distribution law, the probability function representing the ratio of molecules at a particular velocity to the total number of molecules is given by f(v)=k_(1)sqrt(((m)/(2piKT^(2)))^3)4piv^(2)e^(-(mv^(2))/(2KT)) Where m is the mass of the molecule, v is the velocity of the molecule, T is the temperature k and k_(1) are constant. The dimensional formulae of k_(1) is

A physical quantity is a phyical property of a phenomenon , body, or substance , that can be quantified by measurement. The magnitude of the components of a vector are to be considered dimensionally distinct. For example , rather than an undifferentiated length unit L, we may represent length in the x direction as L_(x) , and so forth. This requirement status ultimately from the requirement that each component of a physically meaningful equation (scaler or vector) must be dimensionally consistent . As as example , suppose we wish to calculate the drift S of a swimmer crossing a river flowing with velocity V_(x) and of widht D and he is swimming in direction perpendicular to the river flow with velocity V_(y) relation to river, assuming no use of directed lengths, the quantities of interest are then V_(x),V_(y) both dimensioned as (L)/(T) , S the drift and D width of river both having dimension L. with these four quantities, we may conclude tha the equation for the drift S may be written : S prop V_(x)^(a)V_(y)^(b)D^(c) Or dimensionally L=((L)/(T))^(a+b)xx(L)^(c) from which we may deduce that a+b+c=1 and a+b=0, which leaves one of these exponents undetermined. If, however, we use directed length dimensions, then V_(x) will be dimensioned as (L_(x))/(T), V_(y) as (L_(y))/(T), S as L_(x)" and " D as L_(y) . The dimensional equation becomes : L_(x)=((L_(x))/(T))^(a) ((L_(y))/(T))^(b)(L_(y))^(c) and we may solve completely as a=1,b=-1 and c=1. The increase in deductive power gained by the use of directed length dimensions is apparent. From the concept of directed dimension what is the formula for a range (R) of a cannon ball when it is fired with vertical velocity component V_(y) and a horizontal velocity component V_(x) , assuming it is fired on a flat surface. [Range also depends upon acceleration due to gravity , g and k is numerical constant]

A man moving with velocity U on the belt in the direction perpedicular to the belt's velocity with respect to belt want to cross the belt. The correct expression for the drift (S) suffered by man is given by (k is numerical costant )

Comprehension # 1 If net force on a system in a particular direction is zero (say in horizontal direction) we can apply: Sigmam_(R )x_(R )= Sigmam_(L)x_(L), Sigmam_(R )v_(R )= Sigmam_(L)v_(L) and Sigmam_(R )a_(R ) = Sigmam_(L)a_(L) Here R stands for the masses which are moving towards right and L for the masses towards left, x is displacement, v is veloctiy and a the acceleration (all with respect to ground). A small block of mass m = 1 kg is placed over a wedge of mass M = 4 kg as shown in figure. Mass m is released from rest. All surface are smooth. Origin O is as shown. Normal reaction between the two blocks at an instant when absolute acceleration of m is 5 sqrt3 m//s^(2) at 60^(@) with horizontal is ......... N. Normal reaction at this instant is making 30^(@) with horizontal :-
