The power per unit cross-sectional area, E, transmitted by a sound wave is a function of wave speed, V, medium density, rho, wave amplitude, r, and wave frequency, n. Determine by dimensional analysis the general form of the expression for E in terms of the other variables.

E=ρV^3f(nr/V)

Explanation:

The power per unit cross sectional area (E)

Transmitted by a sound wave is a function of of wave speed (V)

Medim density("ρ")

Wave amplitude (r)

Frequency (n)

E=f(V, ρ, r, n)

There are 5 parameters, that is, n=5

The primary variables M, L, T, m=3

Therefore, the number of repeating variables, r=3.

The repeating variables ρ, v, r.

According to Buckingham there will be n-m dimensionless group which are π1 and π2.

The dimensions for parameters are:

E= MT^-3

V= LT^-1

ρ= ML^-3

r=L

n= T^-1

π1= ρ^aV^br^cE

= (ML^-3) ^a(LT^-1) ^b(L) ^c

=M^a+1L^-3a+b+cT^-b-3

=M^0L^0T^0

By equating the coefficient

M: a+1= 0

a=-1

T: - b-3

b=-3

L: -3a+b+c= 0

3-3+c=0

c=0

π1=ρ^-1V^-3r^0E

π1= E/ρV^3

Check for dimensions

π1=MT^-3/(ML^-3)(LT^-3)

π1=1

π2=ρ^dV^er^e n

(ML^-3) ^d(LT^-1) ^e(L) ^f(T^-1)

=M^0T^0L^0

M: d=0

T:-e-1=0

e=-1

f:-3d+e+f=0

f=1

π2 =ρ^0V^-1r^1n

π2=nr/V

π2= T^-1/LT^-1

π2=[1]

π1=f(π2)

E/ρV^3= f(nr/V)

Therefore,

The general form of the expression for E in terms of the other variables is

E=ρV^3f(nr/V)

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
