Military Technological College MTCC3006 Introduction To Civil Engineering Week 10: Dimensional Analysis Vocabulary

Dimensional analysis is a technique used in physics and engineering to analyze problems involving multiple physical quantities by identifying their fundamental dimensions and units. It allows conversion between different units using proportionality factors and provides a way to check the dimensional consistency and plausibility of equations. Dimensional analysis helps understand relationships between physical quantities and derive new equations.
