T is in seconds (s)
<span>2pi is dimensionless </span>
<span>L is in meters (m) </span>
<span>g is in meters per second squared (m/s^2) </span>
<span>so you can write the equation for the period of the simple pendulum in its units... </span>
<span>s=sqrt(m/(m/s^2)) </span>
<span>simplify</span>
<span>s=sqrt(m*s^2*1/m) cancelling the m's </span>
<span>s=sqrt(s^2) </span>
<span>s=s </span>
<span>therefore the dimensions on the left side of the equation are equal to the dimensions on the right side of the equation.</span>
