Question:
In checking the dimensions of an equation, you should note that derivatives also possess dimensions. For example, the dimension of ds/dt is LT –1 and the dimension of d2s/dt2 is LT–2, where s denotes distance and t denotes time. Determine whether the equation:
for the time rate of change of total energy E in a pendulum system with damping force is dimensionally compatible.
