Dimensional analysis can be used to verify whether formulae are dimensionally valid or not. Produce a single page training document which explains this for the 3 equations shown below and indicate if they are dimensionally valid or NOT.
Note that u and v are velocities, a is an acceleration, s is a distance, t is a time and F is force.
Your personal value B =12
1)(B)s =(2(B))(u+v)t2
2) v2= u2+4as
3)(B)F = ma
A client of your company extracts oil from the North Sea. They use CNC machines to produce drill bits in their factory.
Select an appropriate AP (arithmetic progression) equation (not from those above) and demonstrate how you would estimate the cost of boring a hole 10x(12)m deep if the cost is 150 for drilling the rst metre with an increase in cost of 10 per metre for each succeeding metre drilled.
