Physics Assignment

1. Give any two limitations of dimensional method


• It cannot determine dimensionless constants in equations.

• It is not applicable for equations involving trigonometric, logarithmic, or exponential


functions.

2. The dimension of K in the equation W = 1/2 K x² is


Answer: [M T⁻²]

Explanation: Work W has dimension M L² T⁻², and x² has L², so K has dimension (M L²
T⁻²) / L² = M T⁻².

3. The velocity of a particle (v) at an instant t is given by v = a t + b t². The


dimension of b is
Answer: L T⁻³

Explanation: Velocity dimension is L T⁻¹. For term b t² to match, [b] T² = L T⁻¹ → [b] = L T⁻³.

4. What is the order of magnitude of the radius of cross section of wire having
radius of cross section as 0.225 cm?
Answer: 10⁻¹ cm

Explanation: 0.225 cm ≈ 2.25 × 10⁻¹ cm, so the order of magnitude is 10⁻¹ cm.
