This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
According to information found in an old hydraulics book, the energy loss per unit weight of fluid flowing through a nozzle connected to a hose can be estimated by the formula; h= (0.04 to 0.09)(D/d)⁴V²/2g
where h is the energy loss per unit weight, D the hose diameter, d the nozzle tip diameter, V the fluid velocity in the hose, and g the acceleration of gravity.
Do you think this equation is valid in any system of units
Answer:
YES, the equation is a general equation that is valid in any system of units
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
h = (0.04 to 0.09)(D/d)⁴ × [tex]\frac{V^{2} }{2g}[/tex]
so
[ N.m/N ] = (0.04 to 0.09) ( m/m)² × (m²/s²)1/2 × (s²/m)
[ N.L/N ] = (0.04 to 0.09) ( L⁴/L⁴) × (L²/T²)1/2 × (T²/L)
∴ [ L ] = (0.04 to 0.09) [L]
So as each term in the equation must have the same dimensions, the constant term (0.04 to 0.09) must be without dimension.
Therefore, YES, the equation is a general equation that is valid in any system of units
