Advantages of Dimensional Formula
There are various advantages of representing a physical quantity through its dimensional formula:
- It can be used to check the consistency of a dimensional equation.
- It can be used to derive the relation between physical quantities in physical phenomena. Like in equation v = u + at, we can relate acceleration and time.
- It can be used to change units from one system to another conveniently.
- It can be used to find the dimension of constants in a given relation.
