Derive the equation for time period of a simple pendulum using the method of dimensions and hence obtain the equation.

Answer»

We know that 

\(\propto\) mlgc

T = K ma la gc----(1)

Putting the dimension each parameter both side

[T] = [M]a [L]b[LT-2]c

[T] = [M]a[Lb+c][T-2c]

comparing both sides power

a = 0

b + c = 0

-2c = 1

c = -1/2

these value put in equation (1) we get

T = K m0 l1/2 g-1/2

T = K\(\sqrt{\frac lg}\) \(\because k = 2\pi\)

T = 2\(\pi\sqrt{\frac lg}\)
