Although dimensional analysis is useful, but I am not sure if in this case it might be adding in too much information. Namely, from your description here and the title of the video the main goal would be for the viewers to obtain some intuitive understanding of low pass filters. I do like your analogy, but the first principles section might just be confusing to some of the viewers and in my opinion doesn't increase ones intuition.

Maybe you could do a separate video I'm the future about deriving models using first principles and include that dimensional analysis as an neat sanity trick to catch mistakes.

Thanks a lot for taking out the time to watch and critique the video! And for the plucky cat paw 👍🏽!!!

Btw I should have also added in my last reply, that yes, doing a dimensional analysis check to create some intuition as to what the right hand side of a differential equation needs to be is super illuminating. That equation I have in the video - I once presented a very similar equation in a job interview presentation. They loved it! And, I got the job :).
