1. Investigate whether the following ratios are dimensionless or not. Show all your workings and indicate by Yes, if the ratio is dimensionless otherwise indicate by No. Use Table Q2 AP b) (P/P)2 2. The velocity of sound c of a gas varies with pressure p and density p. Show by dimensional reasoning that the proper form must be c = ( = (constant) (p/p) ¹/2.

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
