Young-Laplace law states that the excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by $\Delta P = 4 \sigma / R$,where $\sigma$ is the coefficient of surface tension of the soap. The $EOTVOS$ number $E_0$ is a dimensionless number that is used to describe the shape of bubbles rising through a surrounding fluid. It is a combination of $g$ (acceleration due to gravity),$\rho$ (density of the surrounding fluid),$\sigma$ (surface tension),and a characteristic length scale $L$ (radius of the bubble). $A$ possible expression for $E_0$ is:

An artificial satellite is revolving around a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R$ in a circular orbit of radius $r$. From Kepler's third law about the period of a satellite around a common central body,the square of the period of revolution $T$ is proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit $r$. Show using dimensional analysis that $T = \frac{k}{R}\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{g}}$,where $k$ is a dimensionless constant and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The work done by a gas molecule in an isolated system is given by $W = \alpha \beta^{2} e^{-\frac{x^{2}}{\alpha kT}}$,where $x$ is the displacement,$k$ is the Boltzmann constant,$T$ is the temperature,and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants. Then the dimension of $\beta$ will be:
