CHAPTER 6
Dimensional Analysis

FE-type Exam Review Problems: Problems 6-1 to 6-6
6.1 (A) The dimensions on the variables are as follows:
L L ML2 ML / T 2 M L
[Wɺ ]  [F V ]  M 2   3 , [d ]  L, [p]    , [V ]  
T T T L2 LT 2 T

First, eliminate T by dividing Wɺ by p. That leaves T in the denominator so


divide by V leaving L2 in the numerator. Then divide by d2. That provides


pVd 2
6.2 (A) V  f (d , l, g,  ,  ). The units on the variables on the rhs are as follows:

L ML
[d ]  L, [l]  L, [g]  , [ ]  T 1 , [  ] 

Because mass M occurs in only one term, it cannot enter the relationship.

dimensions so that the   term is dimensionless. We could have set up equations similar
to those of Eq. 6.2.11 and solved for a1 , b1 , c1 and a2 , b2 , c2 and a3 , b3 , c3 . But the

method of observation is usually successful.
