Dimensionsal methods provide three major advantages in verification , deviation , and changing the system of units . Any empirical formula that is derived based on this method has to be verified and propportionality constants found by experimental means . The presence or absence of certain factors - non dimensional constants or variables - cannot be identified by this method . So every dimensionally correct relation cannot be taken as perfectly correct. The time period of oscillation of a drop depends on surface tension sigma , density of the liquid rho , and radius r . The relation is
