At this point you don't know what the symbols mean, but given the dimensions associated with each symbol, decide whether the conclusion (Eq. D) can possibly be correct. 1. Yes 2. No 3. You can’t tell without more information9/8/10 8 If we agree that (Eq. D) cannot possibly be correct because of dimensions, is it because the starting equation (Eq. A) is dimensionally incorrect?
