Final answer:

The term provided by the student, P(2-x)^ne where v is the velocity of oil, does not correspond to a known physical quantity, so its dimensions cannot be determined without additional context. In the field of Physics, velocity typically has the dimensions ML0T-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the dimensions of a term that involves the velocity of oil flowing through a tube. This falls under the subject of Physics, specifically fluid mechanics. The term P(2-x)^ne, where v is the velocity, is not standard, and its dimensions cannot be determined without more context. It may contain a typo as it does not correspond to any known physical quantity. Usually, the velocity (v) is measured in meters per second (m/s), and the dimensions of velocity are ML0T-1.
