(1)

$v = λ^{a} g^{b} ρ^{c}$

using dimension formula

$ρ$

$\Rightarrow [M^{0} L^{1} T^{- 1}] = [M^{c} L^{a + b - 3 c} T^{- 2 b}]$

$∴ c = 0, a + b - 3 c = 1, - 2 b = - 1 \Rightarrow b = \frac{1}{2}$

Now, a + b –3c = 1

$\Rightarrow a + \frac{1}{2} - 0 = 1$

$\Rightarrow a = \frac{1}{2}$

$∴ a = \frac{1}{2}, b = \frac{1}{2}, c = 0$
