The time P required for a spring-mass system to complete one full oscillation can be expressed in terms of the attached mass m and the spring constant of the spring k in the form P = kmbkc, where k, b, and c are dimensionless constants.
 
  What must be the values of b and c? The dimensions of k are M/T2.

Question 2

The speed v of sound waves in a gas can be expressed in terms of the pressure p and the density  (mass per unit volume) of the gas, as v = apbc, where a, b, and c, are dimensionless constants. The dimensions of pressure are M/LT2.
 
  What must be the values of b and c?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
