Show that the expression of the time period T of a simple pendulum of length l given by `T = 2pi sqrt((l)/(g))` is dimensionally currect

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

` T = 2pi sqrt((l)/(g)) `
Dimensionally `[T] = sqrt(([L])/([LT^(-2)])) = [T]`
As in the above equation the dimensions of both sides are same . The given formula Is dimensionally correct .
