Given that `T` stands for time and `l` stands for the length of simple pendulum . If `g` is the acceleration due to gravity , then which of the following statements about the relation `T^(2) = ( l// g)` is correct?

A

It is correct both dimensionally as well as numerically.

B

It is neither dimensionally correct nor numerically.

C

It is dimensionally correct but not numerically.

D

It is numerically correct but not dimensionally.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The correct relation for time period of simple pendulum is `T = 2 pi ( l// g)^(1//2)`. So the given relation is numerically incorrect as the factor of ` 2 pi` is missing. But it is correct dimensionally.
