3. Convert the following unit to S.I unit 0.2 g/cm3

[2 x 102kg/m3]

4.The viscous force, F when a metal sphere is going its way downward is given by the equation: F = A a r b v c , where : A = dimensionless constant = coefficient of viscosity of the fluid (unit : kgm-1s-1) r = radius of the metal sphere v = velocity of the metal sphere Determine the values of a, b and c and write down the formula again.
[ a =1, b=1, c =1 ]

5.

Prove that the given formula below is consistent in terms of dimension. W = g r2 h , where : W = weight of water inside the capillary tube = density of the water g = gravitational acceleration r = radius of the capillary tube and h = height of the capillary tube

6. Show that the equation is dimensionally correct: v2 = u2 2gs

7. The period T of a sample pendulum is measured in time units and is given by :

T = 2
l g

Where l the length of the pendulum and g is the free fall acceleration in units of length divided by the square of time. Show that this equation is dimensionally correct.

8. The dimensions of quantities P and Q are MLT-2 and L2 respectively. What is the base units
