A gas bubble from an explosion under water oscillates with a period proportional to P^(a)d^(b)E^(c), where P is the static pressure, d is the density of water and E is the energy of explosion. Then a,b,c are respectively :

Answer»

`1,1,1`
`(1)/(3),(1)/(2),(-5)/(6)`
`(-5)/(6),(1)/(2),(1)/(3)`
`(1)/(2),(-5)/(6),(1)/(3)`

SOLUTION :Let `T=P^(a)d^(b)E^(c)`
Writing dimensions on both SIDES,
`[M^(0)L^(0)T^(0)]=[ML^(-1)T^(-2)]^(a)[ML^(-3)]^(b)[ML^(2)T^(-2)]^(c)`
`:.[M^(0)L^(0)T]=M^(a+b+c)L^(-a_3b+2c)T^(-2a-2c)`
Thus `a+b+c=0,-a-3b+2c=0,-2a-2c=0.`
On solving eqns, we GET `a=(-5)/(6),b=(1)/(2)` and `c=(1)/(3)`
Hence the correct `(c )`.
