The time period T of simple pendulum depends upon length l of the pendulum and gravitational acceleration. The formula for time period of simple pendulum is given by
Let
where a and b are dimensionless constants
where, k is dimensionless constant.
and
According to homogeneity principle,
[LHS] = [RHS]
or
For dimensional balance, dimensions on both sides should be same.
and -2b =1
and
[since, numerical value of k in case of simple pendulum is ]
