From: Dimensional analysis yields the general second-order differential equation underlying many natural phenomena: the mathematical properties of a phenomenon’s data plot then specify a unique differential equation for it

Figure 5

Two power law functions. a. Light intensity as a function of iris radius. The red dashed line gives the coordinates slope (I / r). The black dashed line gives the slope at this point (dI / dr). b. Basal metabolic rate versus organism mass. The red dashed line gives the coordinates slope (B / M). The black dashed line gives the slope at this point (dB / dM).
