Q. A physical quantity depends upon five factors, all of which have dimensions; then method of dimensional analysis

Physical World, Units and Measurements

Solution:

If a quantity depends upon more than three factors, each having dimensions, then the method of dimensional analysis cannot be applied. It is because applying the principle of homogeneity will give only three equations.
