About Physics Assignment: The purpose of physics is to

formulate laws that govern the functioning of physical world.
Physical laws are more often than not based on mathematical
language. Physics is regarded as the most fundamental subject
of natural sciences. It is divided into many sub areas like
electronics, quantum physics, astronomy, and biophysics. We
offer Physics Assignment Help to scholars of all related
fields of physics. The primary highlights of our service includes
prompt response on assignment quotes, high quality plagiarism free solution, on time
delivery and query handling at no additional cost. We dont believe in hiring a lot of physics
assignment tutors available for you irrespective of stress on quality. Rather we believe on
hiring specialized tutors with good experience in teaching and solving assignments.
Sample of Physics Assignment Illustrations and Solutions:
Question-1: Show that the following relation for the time period of a body executing
S.H.M. is correct.
T = 2

1
accelaration / displacement

Solution: T = 2

displacement
acceleration

Dimension of L.H.S. quantity = [M0L0T-1]

Dimensions of R.H.S. quantity
= (dimension of length)1/2/(dimension of acceleration)1/2
=[L]1/2/[LT-2]1/2 = 1/[T-1] or [M0L0T1]
Since the dimension of L.H.S. quantity is equal to the dimension of R.H.S. quantity, the
relation is dimensionally correct.
(c) To derive a relationship between different physical quantities. The concept of the
homogeneity of dimensions can also be used to find a possible relationship between
different physical quantities provided we have some preliminary idea of the dependence of
various quantities on each other. This will be clear from the following examples.
Potential difference required, V = IR = 15 112 = 180 volts.

Question-2: If the frequency of a stretched string depends upon the length of the string.
the tension in the string and the mass per unit length of the string. Establish a relation for
the frequency using the concept of dimension.
Solution: Let us assume that frequency is directly proportional to I x, Ty and d2. The possible
relation for frequency (n) will be
n lx Ty d2
The dimension of L.H.S. quantity

The dimension of L.H.S. quantity

Equating the powers, we have

y + z = 0, y + x z = 0, and -2u = -1
From these equations we get x = -1, y =

upon thee density d, radius r and surface tension.

i.e., in the dimensional form

[L M0T0] = [LT-1]a [LT-2]b [T]c
or L M0T0 = La+bM0TI-a-2b+c
By equating the indices of basic quantities, we get a + b = 1 and a+2b = c
As these two equations are not enough to find the three unknown numbers a, b and c. We
make use of the fact that in case acceleration is zero, then
S = k1uabtc and in dimensional form
[L M0T0] = [LT-2]b [T]c or [LM0T0] = LbTc-a
Equating indices in the above relation we have a = 1 and c = 1 i.e., S = k 1 ut.
Again if body starts from rest i.e. S = k 2fbtc and in dimensional form
[L M0T0] = [LT-2]b [T]c or [LM0T0] = LbTc-2b
Equating indices in the above equation we have b = 1 and c = 2 i.e., S = K 2ft2
Now if the body possesses both initial velocity and acceleration, the equation will have both
terms k1 ut and k2ft2, so that
S = k1 ut+k2ft2
It is observed experimentally that constant k1 = 1 and k2 =
S = ut + ft2.
(ii) As the acceleration of the particle moving in a circle depends upon the velocity of the
particle (v) and the radius of the circle (r) we can say acceleration = kv arb.
Dimensionally [LT-2] = [LT

-1 a

] [L]b

or LT-2 = La+b T-a

Equating indices we have, a + b = 1 and a = 2.
Hence we have b = -1 and a = 2.
Therefore we have acceleration = kv2/r
(iii) As the time period of the drop depends upon the density of the liquid d, radius r and
surface tension S we can write for time period (T) = k da rb Sc writing these in dimensional
from we have
[M0L0T0] [L-3 M]a [L]b [MT-2]c
or M0 L0 T = L-3a+b Ma+c T-2c
Equating the indices we have

-3a + b = 0, a +c = 0 and -2c = 1

Solving these equations we have
a = ,b = 3/2 and c = -1/2
Thus T = kd1/2r3/2 S1/2
or T = k

Question-4: On the basis of dimensional analysis show that the following relationship is
correct V = E/d where V is the velocity of the sound, E is the elasticity and d is the density
of the medium.
Solution: We know dimension of velocity is M0 LT-1, of density [ML-3] and of elasticity
[ML-1T-2] being same as that of pressure) in the relation v =
R.H.S.
=

1/2 = [ML-1T-2]1/2 / [ML-3 T0]

= [ML-1 T-2 L-1/2 + 3/2 T-1 + 0 = M0 LT-1

E, d, Dimensions of the

= M1/2-1/2L-1/2 + 3/2 T-1+0 = M0Lt-1

=The dimensions of L.H.S. (that of velocity).
Thus the above relation is correct.

Question-5: Show on the basis of dimensional analysis that the following relations are
correct :
(i) n = P r4/vl where P is the pressure difference between the two ends of the capillary
tube; r its radius, l its length, v the rate of flow of liquid through it (volume per second)
and n is the coefficient of viscosity.
(ii) v2 u2 = as, where u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration of the body
and S is the distance moved.
(iii) p = 3g/4r G where p is the density of earth, G is the gravitational constant, r is the
radius of the earth and g is acceleration due to gravity.
Solution: (i) From relation n = Pr4/vl
We have for the dimension of R.H.S.
= [dimension of P] [dimension of r]4 / [dimension of b v/t] [dimension of l]
= [ML-1 T-2] [L]4 / [L3 T-1] [L] = ML3 T-2 / L4 T-1 = ML-1 T-1

Now the dimension of L.H.S. n

MLT 2

LT 1
L

= ML-1T-1

As the dimensions of L.H.S. are equal to the dimensions of R.H.S. the above relation is
correct.
(ii) From relation v2 u2 = aS
We have for the dimension of L.H.S.
= [dimension of v]2 [dimension of u]2 = L2T-2
The dimensions of R.H.S.
= [dimension of a] [dimensions of S]
= [LT-2] [L] = T2T-2
As the dimension of L.H.S. = dimension of R.H.S. the above relation is correct.
(iii)From relation = 3g/4r G
We have for the dimension of R.H.S. quantity.
= [dimension of g]/ [dimension of r] [dimension of G]
= LT-2/[L] [M-1L3T ] = ML-3
Dimension of density = Dimension of R.H.S.
