Dimensional homogeneity

The term dimensional homogeneity means that in an equation, the dimensions of each term on both sides are equal, which means the dimensions of the left-hand side (LHS) of an equation are similar to the dimensions of the right-hand side (RHS). For a dimensionally homogeneous equation, the powers of fundamental dimensions will be identical on both sides of the equation.

For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):Compute the total flow rate under the Dam. X = 4, Y = 8. Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.
