Question
A tap is dripping at a rate of 10 millilitres per minute. What are the dimensions of the flow rate, in terms of M, L, T ?Group of answer choices
Solution
The dimensions of the flow rate are given in terms of Mass (M), Length (L), and Time (T).
In this case, the flow rate is given in millilitres per minute.
1 millilitre of water has a mass of approximately 1 gram and occupies a volume of 1 cubic centimetre.
So, 10 millilitres of water has a mass of approximately 10 grams and occupies a volume of 10 cubic centimetres.
The dimensions of the flow rate are therefore:
- Mass (M): 10 grams
- Length (L): 10 cubic centimetres
- Time (T): per minute
So, the dimensions of the flow rate in terms of M, L, T are [M][L^3][T^-1].
