An undersea experiment went wrong and the entire station blew up with an energy E. This released air bubbles with static pressure p. One such air bubble oscillated with a period T (found to be proportional to pa db Ec) where d is the density of water. Find the values of a, b and c.

plz...explain in brief how to solve this problem and which formula is being used.

Time period is given by:
 T = padbEcT = padbEc
Dimension are:
where p is pressure = [M1L-1T-2]
d is the density = [M1L-3T0]
E is energy  = [M​1L​2T-2]

Time period = [M​0L0T1]

According to the formula:


[M​0L0T1] = [M​0L0T1][M1L-3T0]b [M​1L​2T-2]c
​                
               
= [Ma+b+c​] [Lb-3c] [T-2a-2c]

equating the power of LHS and RHS,

we get,
a =5/6
b = -1/2
c = -1/3
