a force of gravity. Suppose that the period of oscillation of the simple pendulum depends on its
length (l), mass of the bob (m) and acc. Due to gravity (g). Derive the expression for its time
period using method of dimensions.

acceleration due to gravity 'g'. Deduce by the method of dimensions the relationship between
these quantities.
