Using the principle of homogunity of dimensions, check dimensionally the given equations are correct(a) \(T^2 = \frac{4π^2r^3}{G}\)(b) \(T^2 = \frac{4π^2r^3}{GM}\)

Answer»

Here G-gravitational constant 

r – radius of orbit M – mass 

Dimensional formula for T = T 

Dimensional formula for r = L 

Dimensional formula for G = M-1 L3 T2 

Dimensional formula for M = M

(a) T2 M° L° = [L3 ] [M L-3 T-2

T2 M° L° = L° MT2 – Not correct 

(b) T2 = [L3 ][ML-3 T-2 ][M-1

T2 = T2 – Dimensionally correct
