Question:
The Mach number is a dimensionless ratio of the velocity of an object in a fluid to the speed of sound in the fluid. For an airplane flying at velocity \(V\) in air at absolute temperature \(T\), the Mach number Ma is
\[ \mathrm{Ma}=\frac{V}{\sqrt{k R T}} \]
where \(k\) is a dimensionless constant and \(R\) is the specific gas constant for air. Show that Ma is dimensionless.
