DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
(MCQ) WITH ANSWERS
Dimensional analysis studies the relation
between different physical quantities.
These quantities are mass, length, time, electric current,
luminous intensity and amount of substance.
Dimensional analysis analyze formulas and equations
using the relationship between fundamental and
derived quantities. Dimensional analysis is a method
in which equate the dimensions on both sides of an
equation. Achieve it either by factor-
level method or unitary method.
