Dimensional Analysis
Dimensional Analysis refers to the physical
nature of the quantity and the type of unit
(Dimension) used to specify it.
Distance has dimension L.
Area has dimension L2.
Volume has dimension L3.
Time has dimension T.
Speed has dimension L/T

Mouse (L = 5 cm)
1/L = 1/(0

Polar Bear (L = 2 m)
1/L = 1/(2 m))

Using
the
principle
of
dimensional
homogeneity, we can solve for the exponents
on each side of the equation.
Since -terms are dimensionless, they can be
replaced by M0L0T0.
