Q.

Using dimensional analysis, angular frequency (ω) of surface waves in a lake as a function of surface tension σ, water density Q and the wave number k=2πλ 
(λ  is the wavelength) is derived. Assuming the dimensionless coefficient is equal to two (in SI units) in this case, find the value of group velocity (vg)  where  vg=ωk. If your answer is vg (in m/s) then fill value of 10vg

(Use:σ=64mN.m1,Q=320πkgm3,λ=1cm)

Lets assume  ω=2σαQβkγ.
Using dimensional analysis
 T1=(MT2)α(ML3)β(L1)γ
On comparing 
0=α+β, 0=3βγ, 1=2α. α=1/2,β=1/2  andγ=3/2 ω=2σk3Q So,  vg=ωk=3σkQ
