Interpretation:
The process of dimensional analysis to solve problems needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The action of measuring the size or quantity of anything is defined as a measurement. A measurement of length in one direction is defined as dimension. For example: a width, a depth and a height.

Answer to Problem 29SSC
There are following steps to solve problems by using dimensional analysis:
- First, identify the given factor and then identify the answer units.
- Discover the required conversion factors and write them in the correct format.
- Cancel units that appear in the numerator part and denominator part.
- Simplify the fractions and solve it.
Explanation of Solution
Dimensional analysis is utilized to convert a set of units into another set of units. Dimensional analysis is also known as factor label method and unit analysis. In a simple word, dimensional analysis is problem-solving method. With the help of this a scientist covert the unit of measurement that is taken by him/her.
