What is Dimensional Analysis? State the uses of Dimensional Analysis.
(N/A) Dimensional analysis is a method of obtaining the solution to certain problems in physics by using the dimensional formulas of physical quantities.
Uses of Dimensional Analysis:
$(a)$ To convert the value of a physical quantity from one system of units to another.
$(b)$ To check the dimensional consistency (correctness) of a given physical equation.
$(c)$ To derive the relationship between different physical quantities in a physical equation.
