Dimensional Analysis: The period P of oscillation of a pendulum (the time interval needed to complete one full oscillation) can be expressed in terms of the mass m of the plumb bob, the length L of the string, and the acceleration due to gravity, g, as P =kmbLcgd, where k, b, c, and d are dimensionless constants. What must be the values of b, c, and d?
