The volume of a liquid flowing out per second from a pipe of length l and radius r is written by a student as V=π8P r4η l where P is the pressure difference between two ends of pipe and η is coefficient of viscosity of the liquid having dimensional formula ML-1T-1

Check whether the equation is dimensionally correct or not.

An artificial satellite is revolving around a planet of mass M and radius R, in a circular orbit of radius r. From Kepler’s Third law about the period of a satellite around a common central body, square of the period of revolution T is proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit r. Show using dimensional analysis, that
  T= kRr3g
where k is a dimensionless constant and g is acceleration due to gravity.
