34. Explain how dimensional analysis is used to solve
problems.


Sagot :

By understanding conversion factors and how they are related to each other we can use dimensional analysis to solve  problems.

Dimensional Analysis is a step by step approach to solving problems in Physics, Chemistry , and Mathematics. It involves having a clear knowledge and understanding to be able to convert a given unit to another in the same dimension using  conversion factors and knowing how they are related to each other.

For instance, In Chemistry, we want to Convert 120mL to L.(note that ml stands for millilitres and ;L stands for litres)

Or first approach will be to write out the conversion factor related to our problem which is

1000ml =1L

such that 120ml = (we cross multiply))

giving us  120ml x 1L/1000ml =0.12L

This same process is applied to convert any type of dimensional analysis problems be it physics or mathematics.
