AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around using dimensional analysis to derive the functional dependence of the equation lambda = k*mu*f^m*T^n from the observational expression lambda = k*sqrt(T/μ)*f^(-1). The user attempts to solve for the exponents n and m, concluding that n equals 2 and m equals -4. However, confusion arises regarding the interpretation of the question, particularly in equating the two expressions and proving an identity. The user struggles with unit consistency and acknowledges a misreading of the original equation's variables. Clarification on the question's intent and assistance with dimensional consistency is requested.

Homework Statement


Use the method of dimensional analysis to show that the functional dependence in equation (1) can be derived from an observational expression: lambda = k*mu*f^m*T^n.


Homework Equations


lambda=k\sqrt {{\frac {T}{\mu}}}{f}^{-1} (1)
lambda = k*mu*f^m*T^n
\mu={\frac {{\it kg}}{m}}
T={\frac {{\it kg}\,m}{{s}^{2}}}


The Attempt at a Solution



First I solve for n.

m={\frac {{m}^{n}}{m}}
n = 2

Now I solve for m.

0=0={1/s}^{m}{s}^{-2\,n}
m = -4

so now I have:

\lambda={\frac {ku{T}^{2}}{{f}^{-4}}}

I don't understand what the question means by "show that the functional dependence in equation (1). . ."

In equation (1) we were told that \lambda and T were variables. Well in equation I've derived \lambda and T could very well be variables, but I don't think I understand the question. But, if the question is asking me to equate the two expressions and prove an "identity", then I can't do that. Any help welcomed and appreciated.

When I try to "work" the units out they don't work out at all.

Misread question. I thought the u had an exponent of 1, but it had an exponent of L.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
