    Assuming that the mass m of the largest stone that can be moved by a flowing river depends upon the velocity v of the water, its density \[\rho \] and the acceleration due to gravity g. Then m is directly proportional to:

    A) \[{{\nu }^{3}}\]

    B)  \[{{\nu }^{4}}\]

    C)  \[{{\nu }^{5}}\]

    D)  \[{{\nu }^{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[m\,\propto {{v}^{x}}{{\rho }^{y}}{{g}^{z}}\] \[M\equiv {{[L{{T}^{-1}}]}^{x}}{{[M{{L}^{-3}}]}^{y}}{{[L{{T}^{-2}}]}^{z}}\] \[{{M}^{1}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}={{M}^{y}}{{L}^{x-3y+z}}{{T}^{-x-2z}}\] \[y=1.\,\,x-3y+z=0,-x-2z=0\] Solving above equations \[x-3-\frac{x}{2}=0\Rightarrow \frac{x}{2}=3\Rightarrow x=6\]
