Dimensional Analysis Practice Problems
- A common method of producing scenarios. This involves seeking the critical uncertainties – i.e. the two or three main dimensions on which the future under consideration is most uncertain, and creating scenarios around the extremes of those dimensions.
- In mathematics and science, dimensional analysis is a tool to understand the properties of physical quantities independent of the units used to measure them.
- Analysis using the fact that physical quantities added to or equated with each other must be expressed in terms of the same fundamental quantities (such as mass, length, or time) for inferences to be made about the relations between them
- An analytical attribute approach technique, whereby new concepts are generated from an exhaustive listing of the dimensions of products in a given category.
dimensional analysis
- Reduce the following fractions to lowest terms.

dimensional analysis practice problems – Clinical Calculations
Clinical Calculations Made Easy: Solving Problems Using Dimensional Analysis (Craig, Clinical Calculations Made Easy)
Now in its Fifth Edition, this book presents a systematic approach to solving dosage calculation problems using dimensional analysis. The book uses the simple-to-complex approach, focusing on understanding how to problem solve, and is, therefore, divided into four sections. 1.) Clinical Calculations introduces the concepts and includes a comprehensive pre-test. 2.) Practice Problems allows students the opportunity to refine their skills 3.)Case Studies (45) helps the student relate dosage calculations to real clinical situations. 4.) A Comprehensive Post-Test contains 25 questions allowing the instructor to assess the student’s mastery of solving clinical calculations using dimensional analysis.
Holly pays a visit!
(Holly went to visit LaDeeDolly’s girls!)
Nicky & Lydia: Holly! You transported!
Holly: Unfortunately not. I still have not figured out how to transport. I used my Time Machine to arrive five minutes ago. I hope your Mom does not mind but I used your bathroom.
Lydia: I am sure she won’t mind. Why are you here?
Holly: I must see your laboratory. Your equation intrigues me. This is very advanced thinking. Your Mom wanted you to come visit my laboratory and have me come visit yours. Lindamom likes the idea very very much but since we can not simultaneously travel in the Time Machine she will not allow it because she mistrusts the U.S. Postal System. I am convinced if I were to be mailed the F.B.I. would seize me for questioning. They want to find out where I park my Space Ship.
Nicky: We are so happy you are here!
Holly: I am happy to meet you both. Do not get me wrong, my sisters are brilliant but they do not have the time to discuss physics for extended periods of time. Ivy practices her singing and Rosy helps out at the dog shelter and feeds the deer and gardens. I hope the two of you will be my special friends.
Lydia: Ummm I am not certain that you know but Nicky has a piece of coral for a brain.
Nicky: I do.
Holly: Your great adventures have proved your intelligence. In fact Nicky is probably highly intelligent. Albert Einstein’s brain was also different from everyone else.
Nicky: Really?
Holly: Einstein’s brain was removed within seven and half hours of his death. Einstein’s brain was brought to a lab at the University of Pennsylvania. It was dissected and pieces were given to leading pathologists. It was noticed immediately that Einstein had no parietal operculum in either hemisphere.
Lydia: Clearly Einstein’s brain grew in an interesting way.
Holly: Further analysis revealed that his parietal operculum region in the inferior frontal gyrus in the frontal lobe of the brain was vacant. Also absent was part of a bordering region called the lateral sulcus.
Lydia: Do you think that the vacancy enabled neurons in this part of his brain to communicate better?
Holly: You took the words right out of my mouth. Einstein himself claimed that he thought visually rather than verbally.
Lydia: I recommend the book “I Found Einstein’s Brain” by Steven Levy.
Holly: I will look for it. I do object to the title however. He did not find Einstein’s brain he took it! So I am sure that because Nickys brain is different from the average brain she will also be very intelligent.
Nicky: I have been having a problem with VecEql x a = VecEqL{unVecEqL::[(a,x)]}
Holly: The function (vEqPlus) uses a fold operation to add each element from the first vector to the second vector. The add function takes care of this by combining elements that occur in both vectors by adding their numeric values.
Nicky: That does make it clearer.
Lydia: I know that you have had many questions regarding time travel Holly.
Holly: The appearance of Phoebe Maybe opened up many questions. I also heard that there is another on flickr with a time machine but I have not been able to find it. Since there exists in this four dimensional structure (space-time) no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical reality….I am sorry are those cupcakes?
Lydia: Yes they are! Do you want to have a tea party?
Holly: Oh yes and can we play with your stuffed toys?
Nicky: Absolutely.
