What is “Dimension” ?
![Page 4: Chapter 13-1219584195577289-8](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062709/558ece181a28abd07e8b463f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Many physical quantities can be expressed in terms of aMany physical quantities can be expressed in terms of a combination ofcombination of fundamental dimensions such asfundamental dimensions such as
[Length] L[Time] T[Mass] M[Current] A[Temperature] θ[Amount] N
The symbol [ ] means dimension or stands for dimensionThe symbol [ ] means dimension or stands for dimension

There are physical quantities which are dimensionless:
numerical value ratio between the same quantity angle some of the known constants like ln,
log and etc.

Dimensional AnalysisDimensional Analysis
Dimension analysis can be used to:
Derive an equation.
Check whether an equation is dimensionally correct. However, dimensionally correct doesn’t necessarily mean the equation is correct
Find out dimension or units of derived quantities.

To check whether a specific formula or To check whether a specific formula or an equation is homogenousan equation is homogenous
Example 1
S = vt
[s] = [v] [t]
L.H.S[s] = L
R.H.S
[v] [t] = LT-1(T)
[v] [t] = LThus, the left hand side = right hand side, rendering the equation as homogenous
