Breaking Down the Dimensional Formula of Velocity Gradient

When it comes to understanding the concept of velocity gradient, we need to first look at its dimensional formula. This is represented as:

[M0 L0 T-1]

In this formula, the symbols M, L, and T stand for:

  • M = Mass
  • L = Length
  • T = Time

How to Derive the Dimensional Formula of Velocity Gradient

The concept of velocity gradient can be broken down into velocity multiplied by the inverse of distance. Mathematically, this is represented as:

Velocity Gradient = velocity × [distance]-1

The dimensional formula of velocity is given by [M0 L1 T-1], and the dimensional formula of distance is [M0 L1 T0].

If we substitute these values into our original equation, we get:

Velocity Gradient = velocity × [distance]-1 = [M0 L1 T-1] × [M0 L1 T0]-1 = [M0 L0 T-1]

Therefore, the dimensional representation of velocity gradient is [M0 L0 T-1].
