Assignment # 1 Units and Dimensions

(1)-Express the following quantities in BG units (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) 465 W 92.1 J 563 N/m2 85.9 mm3 386 Kg/m2

(2)-Express the following quantities in SI units. (a) (b) (c) (d) 742 Btu 240 miles 79.1 hp 63.3 oF

(3)-Large flows from large drainage pipe at a rate of 1500 gal/min. What is this volume rate in m3/sec and liters/min? (4)-A certain object weighs 300 N at the earths surface. Determine the mass of the object (in kilogram) and its weight (in Newton) when located on the plant with acceleration of gravity equal to 4.0 ft/s2.

(5)- If P is a force and x a length, what are the dimensions (in the FLT) of (a) dP/dx, (b) d3P/dx3, and (c) Pdx?

(6)-A formula to estimate the volume of flow rate, Q, flowing over dam of length,B, is given by the equation

where H is the depth of water above the top of the dam. This formula gives Q in ft3/s when B and H are in feet. Is the constant 3.09 dimensionless? Would this equation be valid if unites other than feet and seconds were used? (7)-The pressure difference, p, across a partial blockage in an artery (called a stenosis) is approximated by the equation ( )

where V is the blood velocity, the blood viscosity (FL-2T), the blood density (ML-3), D the artery diameter, Aothe area of the unobstructed artery, and A1 the area of the stenosis. Determine the dimension of the constants KV and Ku. Would this equation be valid in any system of units? (8)-Determine the dimension of the Coefficients C1 and C2 in the following equation

Where x is the length and t is the time.
