Problem

In an experiment, a researcher suggests that torque can be modeled by the empirical expression τ=k m ar bv c\tau = k\,m^{\,a} r^{\,b} v^{\,c}, where mm is mass, rr is a distance, vv is speed, and kk is a dimensionless constant. Using dimensional analysis, determine the exponents aa, bb, and cc that make the equation dimensionally consistent with torque. Give your answer in the form (a, b, c)(a,\,b,\,c).
