The frequency ν of an oscillating liquid drop may depend upon radius r of the drop, density ρ of liquid and the surface tension s of the liquid as: ν=raρbsc. The values of a, b and c respectively are 
  1. -32, -12, 12
  2. -32, 12, 12
  3. 32, 12,-12
  4. 32, -12, 12

Solution

Here, we have ν=raρbsc

Equating the dimensions of each quantity on both sides

T-1=L1aM1L-3bMLT-2LcT-1=Mb+cLa-3bT-2c

Comparing the dimensions, we get

c=12, b=-12, a-3b=0

a+32=0a=-32  

Thus, the value of a, b and c are -32,-12, 12.
