find the powers p and q required for dimensional consistency.?

the period T of a simple pendulum is the amount of time required fot it to undergo one complete oscillation. if the lenght of the pendulum is L and the acceleration of gravity is g, then T is given by, T = 2Pi L^p g^q

T is in seconds or units of time.L is in length g is in length*time^(-2)So L^p g^q has units (length)^p (length)^q *(time)^(-2q)= (length)^(p+q) * (time)^(-2q)This has to be equal to (time).That tells you p+q = 0 since there's no length units on the left hand side And -2q has to be equal to 1. So that tells you q, which tells you what p has to be.... Show More
