1. What is the dimensional formula of coefficient of viscosity and universal Gravitational

constant? What are the various types of forces in nature? Name them
2. How will you find the distance of the star from the Earth by parallax method? Explain.
Can two physical quantities have same dimensional formula? Give example
3. How many joule form 1 erg? Calculate the answer by using dimensional analysis.
4. Consider the problem of a freely falling body near the surface of the earth. If x, w, g, and
t represent the distance measured from the initial height, the weight of the body, the
gravitational acceleration, and time, respectively, find a relation for x as a function of w,
g, and t.
5. The distance covered by a car, say x, starting from rest and having uniform acceleration
depends on time t and acceleration a. Use dimensional analysis to find expression for the
distance covered.
6. The viscous force experienced by the spherical object depends on its radius, coefficient of
viscosity and terminal velocity in the viscous medium. Using dimensional analysis derive
the relation between them.
7. Check the correctness of the following equations (i) v2=u2+2aS (ii)K E= mv2
8. Centripetal force acting on a body moving along a circular path depends on (i)mass of
body (m), velocity of the body(v), radius of circular path (r). using the method of
dimensions derive the expression for centripetal force.
9. How will you measure the size of oleic acid molecule.
10. Rate of flow of liquid through a pipe depends on (i) pressure gradient exist between the
ends of pipe(P/l))(ii)radius of the pipe (r) (iii)co-efficient of viscosity of liquid(). using
the method of dimensions derive the expression for Rate of flow of liquid through a pipe.
11. Energy of a body executing SHM depends on (i) mass of the body(m) (ii) amplitude with
which the body oscillate(a) (iii)frequency of oscillation() using the method of
dimensions derive the expression for centripetal force.

12. A physical quantity is described by the relation X = a b / c d. If the percentage error in

the measurement of a, b, c and d are 1%, 2%, 4% and 9% respectively than find the
percentage error in the measurement of X.
