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.

I tried to make it all pretty with the LaTeX, but it didn't work :(
 
Misread question. I thought the u had an exponent of 1, but it had an exponent of L.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
