Q10P
Expert-verifiedFigure P1.10 shows a frustum of a cone. Match each of theexpressions(a) , (b) and(c) with the quantity it describes: (d) the total circumference of the flat circular faces, (e) the volume, or (f) the area of the curved surface.
The matches are given by:
(a) and (f)
(b) and (c)
(c) and (e)
The analysis of a relationship between different physical quantities by using the units of measurements and dimensions is called dimensional analysis. It is used to examine the correctness of an equation.
The formula of a circumference is and its dimension is
The formula of a volume is and its dimension is
The formula of an area is and its dimension is
The given equation is
In the above formula, has no dimension.
The dimensionsof , and is
Replace for , and in the above equation to get its dimension.
Hence, the dimension of equation (a) is equal to the dimension of the area of the curved surface.
The equation given is
In the above formula, has no dimension.
The dimensionsof , and is
Replace for , and in the above equation to get its dimension.
Hence, the dimension of equation (b) is equal to the dimension of the circumference of the flat circular base.
Consider the given equation as shown below.
In the above formula, has no dimension.
The dimensionsof , and is
Replace for , and in the above equation to get its dimension.
Hence, the dimension of the equation (c) is equal to the dimension of the volume.
