The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the relationship between the volume of a liquid (V) flowing per second through a cylindrical tube and the given parameters (pressure gradient \( \frac{P}{L} \), radius of the tube \( r \), and coefficient of viscosity \( \eta \)), we will use dimensional analysis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables**: We have the following variables: - \( V \): Volume of liquid flowing per second (dimension: \( [L^3 T^{-1}] \)) - \( P \): Pressure (dimension: \( [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \)) - \( L \): Length (dimension: \( [L] \)) - \( r \): Radius (dimension: \( [L] \)) - \( \eta \): Coefficient of viscosity (dimension: \( [M L^{-1} T^{-1}] \)) 2. **Formulate the Relationship**: We assume that the volume \( V \) is proportional to the parameters as follows: \[ V \propto r^a \left(\frac{P}{L}\right)^b \eta^c \] where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are the powers we need to determine. 3. **Write the Dimensions**: Substitute the dimensions into the equation: - Dimensions of \( V \) = \( [L^3 T^{-1}] \) - Dimensions of \( r^a \) = \( [L]^a = [L^a] \) - Dimensions of \( \left(\frac{P}{L}\right)^b \) = \( \left[M L^{-1} T^{-2} L^{-1}\right]^b = [M^b L^{-2b} T^{-2b}] \) - Dimensions of \( \eta^c \) = \( [M L^{-1} T^{-1}]^c = [M^c L^{-c} T^{-c}] \) Combining these, we have: \[ [L^3 T^{-1}] = [L^a] [M^b L^{-2b} T^{-2b}] [M^c L^{-c} T^{-c}] \] 4. **Combine Dimensions**: This gives us: \[ [L^3 T^{-1}] = [M^{b+c} L^{a - 2b - c} T^{-2b - c}] \] 5. **Equate the Powers**: From the above equation, we can equate the powers of \( M \), \( L \), and \( T \): - For \( M \): \( b + c = 0 \) (1) - For \( L \): \( a - 2b - c = 3 \) (2) - For \( T \): \( -2b - c = -1 \) (3) 6. **Solve the Equations**: From equation (1), we can express \( c \) in terms of \( b \): \[ c = -b \] Substituting \( c \) into equation (3): \[ -2b - (-b) = -1 \implies -2b + b = -1 \implies -b = -1 \implies b = 1 \] Now substituting \( b = 1 \) back into equation (1): \[ c = -1 \] Finally, substituting \( b = 1 \) and \( c = -1 \) into equation (2): \[ a - 2(1) - (-1) = 3 \implies a - 2 + 1 = 3 \implies a - 1 = 3 \implies a = 4 \] 7. **Final Relationship**: Now substituting the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) back into the proportionality: \[ V \propto r^4 \left(\frac{P}{L}\right)^1 \eta^{-1} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ V \propto \frac{P r^4}{\eta L} \] ### Conclusion: The correct formula for the volume of liquid flowing per second through a cylindrical tube is: \[ V \propto \frac{P r^4}{\eta L} \]

When a liquid flows in a tube, there is relative motion between adjacent layers of the liquid. This force is called the viscous force which tends to oppose the relative motion between the layers of the liquid. Newton was the first person to study the factors that govern the viscous force in a liquid. According to Newton’s law of viscous flow, the magnitude of the viscous force on a certain layer of a liquid is given by F = - eta A (dv)/(dx) where A is the area of the layer (dv)/(dx) is the velocity gradient at the layer and eta is the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid. The dimensional formula for the coefficient of viscosity is :
