प्रश्न

An artificial satellite is revolving around a planet of mass M and radius R, in a circular orbit of radius r. From Kepler’s Third law about the period of a satellite around a common central body, square of the period of revolution T is proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit r. Show using dimensional analysis, that `T = k/R sqrt(r^3/g)`. where k is a dimensionless constant and g is acceleration due to gravity.

दीर्घउत्तर

उत्तर

By Kepler's third law,

`T^2 ∝ r^3` ⇒ `T ∝ r^(3/2)`

We know that T is a function of R and g.

Let `T ∝ r^(3/2) R^a g^b`

⇒ `T = kr^(3/2) R^a g^b`  ......(i)

Where k is a dimensionless constant of proportionality.

Substituting the dimensions of each term in equation (i), we get

`[M^0L^0T] = k[L]^(3/2) [L]^a [LT^-2]^b`

= `k[L^(a+ b + 3/2 T^-2b)]`

On comparing the powers of same terms, we get

`a + b + 3/2` = 0  ......(ii)

`- a2b` = 1 ⇒ b = `- 1/2`  ......(iii)

From equation (ii), we get

`a - 1/2 + 3/2` = 0 ⇒ a = – 1

Substituting the values of a and b in equation (i), we get

`T = kr^(3/2) R^-1 g^(-1/2)`

⇒ `T = k/R sqrt(r^3/g)`

A book with many printing errors contains four different formulas for the displacement y of a particle undergoing a certain periodic motion:

(a) y = a sin `(2pit)/T`

(b) y = a sin vt

(c) y = `(a/T) sin  t/a`

d) y = `(a/sqrt2) (sin 2πt / T + cos 2πt / T )`

(a = maximum displacement of the particle, v = speed of the particle. T = time-period of motion). Rule out the wrong formulas on dimensional grounds.

The volume of a liquid flowing out per second of a pipe of length l and radius r is written by a student as `v = π/8 (pr^4)/(ηl)` where P is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe and η is coefficient of viscosity of the liquid having dimensional formula ML–1 T–1.

Einstein’s mass-energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass (m ) to energy (E ) as E = mc2, where c is speed of light in vacuum. At the nuclear level, the magnitudes of energy are very small. The energy at nuclear level is usually measured in MeV, where 1 MeV= 1.6 × 10–13 J; the masses are measured in unified atomic mass unit (u) where 1u = 1.67 × 10–27 kg.

  2. A student writes the relation as 1 u = 931.5 MeV. The teacher points out that the relation is dimensionally incorrect. Write the correct relation.
