The period of a simple pendulum, defined as the time necessary for one complete oscillation, is measured in time units and is given by
t = 2π×square root of l/g

where ℓ is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity, in units of length divided by time squared. show that this equation is dimensionally consistent.

The task is to show that the right side of the equation has units of [Time], just like the left side has.

The right side of the equation is . . . 2 π √(L/G) .

We can completely ignore the  2π since it has no units at all, so it has no effect on the units of the right side of the equation.  Now the task is simply to find the units of  √(L/G) .

L . . . meters

G . . . meters/sec²

(L/G) = (meters) / (meters/sec²)

(L/G) = (meters) · (sec²/meters)

(L/G) = (meters · sec²) / (meters)

(L/G) = sec²

So  √(L/G) = seconds = [Time]

THAT's what we were hoping to prove, and we did it !
