Question
The dimensions $\text{ML}^{-1}\text{T}^{-2}$ may correspond to:
- Work done by a force.
- Linear momentum.
- Pressure.
- Energy per unit volume.
✓
Answer
- Pressure.
- Energy per unit volume.
$\text{[Work done] = [ML}^2\text{ T}^{-2}]$
$\text{[Linear momentum] = [MLT}^{-1}]$
$\text{[Pressure] = [ML}^{-1}\text{T}^{-2}]$
$\text{[Energy per unit volume] = [ML}^{-1}\text{T}^{-2}]$
From the above, we can see that pressure and energy per unit volume have the same dimension, i.e., $\text{ML}^{-1}\text{T}^{-2}.$

Indian style of cooling drinking water is to keep it in a pitcher having porous walls. Water comes to the outer surface very slowly and evaporates. Most of energy needed for evaporation is taken from the water itself and the water is cooled down. Assume that a pitcher contains 10kg of water and 0.2g of water comes out per second. Assuming no backward heat transfer from the atmosphere to the water, calculate the time in which the temperature decrease by 5°C. Specific heat capacity of water $= 4200\ J\ kg^{-1} \ ^\circ C^{-1} $ and latent heat of vaporization of water $= 2.27 \times 10^6 J kg^{-1}.$

→Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 3. Bernoulli's Theorem It states that for the streamline flow of an ideal liquid through a tube, the total energy (the sum of pressure energy, the potential energy and kinetic energy) per unit volume remains constant at every cross-section throughout the tube.$\text{P}+\text{pgh}+\frac{1}{2}\text{pv}^2$ = constant
or $\frac{\text{P}}{\text{pg}}+\text{h}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{v}^2}{\text{g}}$ = another constant Here, $\frac{\text{P}}{\text{pg}}$ = pressure head; h = potential head and $\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{v}^2}{\text{g}}$ velocity head. If the liquid is flowing through a horizontal tube, then h is constant, then according to Bernoulli’s theorem,$\frac{\text{P}}{\text{pg}}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{v}^2}{\text{g}}$ constant
Bernoulli’s theorem is based on law of conser - vation of energy.
