Hello, in this video I'm going to focus on dimension in physics
0:05
Well, you need to understand that the dimension of physical quantity simply refers to the way it is related, connected or associated to fundamental quantities
0:18
The method of dimensions can be used to find a relationship between quantities when mathematics is too difficult
0:30
Additionally, it has been extensively used in hydrodynamics to show the formula is correct or homogeneous
0:37
For example, we have maths. In dimension, we have what we call... Sorry
0:50
We have what we call mass. We have length and we also have time
0:58
This is mass, this is length, and this is time
1:10
The mass in terms of dimension we express it as capital Leta M It represents the unit kilogram
1:24
Length stands as capital L and it represents the unit meter. Time stands as
1:39
time, sorry, capital T, It turns as capitality and it represents unit seconds
2:00
Now, for instance now, let's assume we are supposed to find the dimension of distance
2:09
We know that distance, the SI unit of distance is measured in meters
2:23
And as you can see here distance which is measured in meters therefore the dimension of distance is L Let assume we want to find the dimension of speed is equal to
2:46
we know that speed is measured in meter far same way. Why because speed is distance over
3:00
time and the dimension of distance is L here which is in meters therefore
3:12
we write L dimension of time is what is T here which is in seconds and this is
3:21
seconds therefore this is T we put this was inside bracket inside
3:30
According to the laws of indices, 8 to the far of minus 1 is equal to 1 over 8
3:39
Therefore it is possible for us now to say that this is going to give us L bracket this T But remember this is 1 over t because this is the same thing as l times one over t and this
4:02
constants as t to the power of t to the power of t therefore minus one therefore we
4:14
have l t to the power of minus one therefore we have l t to the power of minus one therefore
4:18
Therefore, this is the dimension of speed. You can go ahead and find out the dimension of acceleration
4:26
We know that acceleration is in meter per second square. Therefore, this is going to be meter is measured in lead bracket and second is measured
4:39
in time or foot time and square. This is going to give us L
4:48
t d d dvara of sorry we have two here because of this therefore it will become an
4:59
inverse therefore we have L t d d dv minus 2 so we can go on and on to find the
5:04
dimension of other materials
