Answer to Problem 36P
The dimension of the constant
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Dimension of any physical quantity in physics tells about how any quantity is related to the fundamental quantities of mass, length and time. Dimensions of any quantity is determined by its definition.
Dimension of mass is
Unit can be defined as the definite amount of quantity used for standard of measurement. The standard of length is metre and similarly for time is second and for mass is kilogram.
Any two quantities having different dimensions can be multiplied but they cannot be added or subtracted. Dimension of two quantities must remain same during addition or subtraction but not during multiplication,
Write the expression for distance.
Here,
The dimension of x is
The dimension of t is

- A spectra is a graph that has amplitude on the Y-axis and frequency on the X-axis. A harmonic spectra simply draws a vertical line at each frequency that a harmonic would be produced. The height of the line indicates the amplitude at which that harmonic would be produced. If the Fo of a sound is 125 Hz, please sketch a spectra (amplitude on the Y axis, frequency on the X axis) of the harmonic series up to the 4th harmonic. Include actual values on Y and X axis.arrow_forwardSketch a sign wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forwardSketch a sine wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forward
