Show that the expression of the time period T of a simple pendulum of length l given by `T-2pisqrt(l//g)` is dimensionally correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The dimensions of LHS= the dimention of `T=[M^(0)L^(0) T^(1)]`
The dimensions of RHS`=(("dimensions of length")/("dimensions of acceleration"))^(1//2)" "( :' 2pi "is a dimensionless constant")`
`=[L/(LT^(-2))]^(1//2)=[T^(2)]^(1//2)=[T]=[M^(0) L^(0) T^(1)]`
