Flow of water though the pipe is one of the best example that we encounter in daily life. 
The flow of water through the pipe is a function of:
Here, diameter is D, length of pipe is I, Dynamic viscosity is  , the acceleration of gravity g and 
density of fluid is   
Calculate the dimensions of the variables used in the above defined problem.
Here, express the dimensions in terms of MLT system. 
Now apply pi theorem to determine the required number of pi term. Let us use M, L and T as our 
system of basic dimension. There are total six variables (n) and three reference dimensions (M, L 
and T) denoted by r. 
Calculate the number of dimension numbers or pi terms by using the following relationship:
