Step 1: Identify the given relation.
The period of oscillation T is proportional to the static pressure p, density of water d, and total energy E.
T∝padbEc
Step 2: Determine the dimensions of each physical quantity.
Find the dimensional formulas for time period, pressure, density, and energy.
[T]=M0L0T1
[p]=[A][F]
[p]=L2MLT−2
[p]=ML−1T−2
[d]=[V][m]
[d]=L3M
[d]=ML−3
[E]=[F][x]
[E]=(MLT−2)(L)
[E]=ML2T−2
Step 3: Set up the dimensional equation.
Substitute the dimensional formulas into the proportionality relation.
[T]=[p]a[d]b[E]c
M0L0T1=(ML−1T−2)a(ML−3)b(ML2T−2)c
M0L0T1=Ma+b+cL−a−3b+2cT−2a−2c
Step 4: Equate the exponents of M, L, and T.
Compare the powers on both sides of the equation.
a+b+c=0
−a−3b+2c=0
−2a−2c=1
Step 5: Solve the system of equations.
Simplify the third equation to find a relation between a and c.
a+c=−21
Substitute this relation into the first equation to solve for b.
−21+b=0
b=21
Substitute the value of b into the second equation.
−a−23+2c=0
−a+2c=23
Express a in terms of c.
a=−21−c
Substitute this expression into the modified second equation.
−(−21−c)+2c=23
21+3c=23
3c=1
c=31
Solve for a using the value of c.
a=−21−31
a=−65
Answer: a=−65, b=21, c=31
