Question:

Given that T stands for time period and l stands for length of simple pendulum. If g is the acceleration due to gravity, then which of the following statements about T2 = 4π l/g correct ?

Options:

It is correct both dimensionally as well as numerically

It is correct neither dimensionally nor numerically

It is dimensionally correct but not numerically

It is numerically correct but not dimensionally

Correct Answer:

It is dimensionally correct but not numerically

Explanation:

Time period of a simple pendulum : T = \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\)

T2 = \(4 \pi^2 \frac{l}{g}\)

So, the given relation is correct dimensionally but NOT numerically.
