Detailed Solution

Given, critical velocity of liquid flowing through tube is expressed as, vcηxρyrz
Coefficient of viscosity of liquid, η=ML-1T-1
Density of liquid, ρ=ML-3
Radius of a tube, r = [L]
Critical velocity of liquid, vc=M0LT-1
M0LT-1=ML-1T-1xML-3yLz M0LT-1=Mx+yL-x-3yT-x
Comparing powers of M, L and T, we get
x+y = 0, -x-3y+z = 1, -x = -1
On solving above equations, we get
x=1, y=-1, z=-1
