What is the purpose of dimensional analysis?

  1. To convert units between different systems

  2. To check the validity of an equation

  3. To derive new equations from existing ones

  4. To determine the physical properties of a fluid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dimensional analysis is used to check the validity of an equation by ensuring that both sides of the equation have the same dimensions.

What is the Buckingham Pi theorem?

  1. A theorem that states that any physical quantity can be expressed as a function of a certain number of dimensionless parameters

  2. A theorem that states that the number of dimensionless parameters in a physical problem is equal to the number of independent variables minus the number of fundamental dimensions

  3. A theorem that states that the dimensions of a physical quantity are determined by the dimensions of its constituent variables

  4. A theorem that states that the units of a physical quantity are determined by the units of its constituent variables


Correct Option: A
