Guess a relation among the quantities using the method of dimensions.

Question: Theory of relativity reveals that mass can be converted into energy. The energy $E$ so obtained is proportional to certain powers of mass $m$ and the speed of light c. Guess a relation among the quantities using the method of dimensions. Solution: Let us assume energy $E \alpha m^{a} c^{b}$, or $E=k m^{a} c^{b}$, where $k$ is a constant Equating their dimensions $\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]=\left[\mathrm{M}^{\mathrm{a}}\right]\left[\mathrm{L}^{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{T}^{...

Moment of inertia of a sphere about its diameter is

Question: The kinetic energy $\mathrm{K}$ of a rotating body depends on its moment of Inertia I and its angular speed $\omega$. Assuming the relation to be $\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{kl}^{\mathrm{a}} \omega^{\mathrm{b}}$, where $\mathrm{k}$ is a dimensionless constant, find $\mathrm{a}$ and $\mathrm{b}$. Moment of inertia of a sphere about its diameter is $\frac{2}{5} M r^{2}$ Solution: $\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{kl}^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{\omega}^{\mathrm{b}}$, where $\mathrm{k}=$ constant and $\mathrm{K}=$ Ki...
