Pendulum - Wikipedia

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back ... The period of swing of a simple gravity pendulum depends on its length, the local strength of  ...

Physical quantities that have the same dimensions may be added or subtracted. Comprehensive understanding of dimension analysis allows one to deduce certain relationships between different physical dimensions and to check derivation, accuracy and dimensional homogeneity.

According to the Principle of Homogeneity, the dimensions of each term of a dimensional equation on both sides should be the same. This theory allows us to convert the units from one form to another.

Given that

Time period of oscillations = T

T depends on length (l), mass and acceleration due to gravity

T \propto l^x g^y m^z

T=k\ l^x\ g^y\ m^z  where, k- constant ....................(1)

Step 1: Dimensional formula for given equation

LHS side:  T = seconds

Dimensional formula $T = [L^0 T^{1} M^0]$

RHS side:  =k\ l^x\ g^y\ m^z

Dimensional formula $= [L^1]^x [L^1 T^{-2}]^y [M]^z$

$= [L^x L^y T^{-2y} M^z]$

$=[\ L^{x+y}\ T^{-2y}\ M^{\ z}\ ]$

LHS = RHS

$[L^0 T^{1} M^0] = [L^{x+y} T^{-2y } M^z]$

Step 2: Deriving the equation for time period of oscillations

Equate the dimensions on both side of the dimensional equation

x + y = 0 ,

-2y=1\ \Rightarrow y = \frac{-1}{2}

z = 0

x + \frac{-1}{2} = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}

Substituting x, y and z value in equation (1)

Time equation T = k l^{\frac{1}{2}} g^\frac{-1}{2} m^0

T = k \frac{\sqrt{l}}{\sqrt{g}}

T = k \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}
