    Dimensional Analysis-Speed of Ocean Waves
    The speed of ocean waves depends on the distance between the waves (the wavelength measured in meters) and the acceleration of gravity (g, measeured in m/s^2) in this way:

    V=K*wavelength^p*g^q...

    where K is a dimensionless constant, find the values of the exponents p and q

    I'm totally lost!
