[ax] = [x2]
⇒ [a] = [x] ...(1)
Dimension of LHS = Dimension of RHS
\[\Rightarrow \left[ \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2}} \right] = \left[ a^n \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left[ \frac{L}{L} \right] = \left[ a^n \right] . . . (2) \]
\[[ L^0 ] = [ a^n ]\]
\[n = 0\]
Notes
You may use dimensional analysis to solve the problem.

India has had a long and unbroken tradition of great scholarship — in mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, logic and ethics. Yet, in parallel with this, several superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes and practices flourished in our society and unfortunately continue even today — among many educated people too. How will you use your knowledge of science to develop strategies to counter these attitudes ?
“It is more important to have beauty in the equations of physics than to have them agree with experiments”. The great British physicist P. A. M. Dirac held this view. Criticize this statement. Look out for some equations and results in this book which strike you as beautiful.
