If dimensions of critical velocity of a liquid flowing through a tube are expressed as , where , and are the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid, the density of liquid and radius of the tube respectively, then the values of , and are given by
Let the dimensional formula of critical velocity be related to coefficient of viscosity , density , and radius as: Substituting the dimensions of each quantity: Dimension of velocity, Dimension of coefficient of viscosity, Dimension of density, Dimension of radius,
Equating the powers of , , and on both sides, we get: For : For : Since , we have . For :
Therefore, the values of and are respectively.
