In measuring the length of the object, when you reduce the length of your ruler by a factor of 6, the number of length elements increases by a factor of 7. Find the dimension of the object and state whether or not it is a fractal.
SOLUTION:
From given data,
In measuring the length of the object, when you reduce the length of your ruler by a factor of 6, the number of length elements increases by a factor of 7. Find the dimension of the object and state whether or not it is a fractal.
The length of your ruler by a factor =R = 6
The number of length elements increases by a factor = N= 7
From the definition of fractal dimensions.
N = RD
Therefore,
7 = 6D
Applying ln on both sides
ln 7 =ln 6D
ln 7 = D ln 6
D = ln 7 / ln 6
D = 1.086
The dimension of the object is found to be 1.086 unit and hence it is a fractal.
