TopicDimensional Analysis

1 A tank containing a liquid has a small hole in the bottom through which the liquid escapes. The speed, \(u \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), at which the liquid escapes is given by $$u = C V \rho g$$ where \(V \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 }\) is the volume of the liquid in the tank, \(\rho \mathrm { kg } \mathrm { m } ^ { - 3 }\) is the density of the liquid, \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity and \(C\) is a constant. By using dimensional analysis, find the dimensions of \(C\).
