The volume of a liquid flowing out per second of a pipe of length l and radius r is written by a student as where P is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe and η is coefficient of viscosity of the liquid having dimensional formula . Check whether the equation is dimensionally correct.

Dimension of the given physical quantity is as follows,

[V] = dimension of volume/dimension of time

LHS

RHS

LHS = RHS

Hence, the equation is correct.
