Q 183 Marks Question3 Marks
The volume of a liquid flowing out per second of a pipe of length l and radius r is written by a student as,$\text{v}=\frac{\pi}{8}\frac{\text{Pr}^4}{\eta\text{l}}$
where P is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe and $\eta$ is coefficent of viscosity of the liquid having dimensional formula $ML^{-1} T^{-1}$. Check whether the equation is dimensionally correct.

Q 215 Marks Questions5 Marks
Einstein's mass - energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass $(\mathrm{m})$ to energy $(\mathrm{E})$ as $\mathrm{E}=$ $\mathrm{mc}^2$, where c is speed of light in vacuum. At the nuclear level, the magnitudes of energy are very small. The energy at nuclear level is usually measured in MeV , where $1 \mathrm{MeV}=1.6 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{~J}$; the masses are measured in unified atomic mass unit ( u ) where $1 \mathrm{u}=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$.
a. Show that the energy equivalent of 1 u is 931.5 MeV .
b. A student writes the relation as $1 \mathrm{u}=931.5 \mathrm{MeV}$. The teacher points out that the relation is dimensionally incorrect. Write the correct relation.
