    Period P has units of seconds (s).

    Length has units of meters (m).

    Mass has units of kilograms (kg).

    Acceleration has units of meters per second squared (m/s²).

    Dimensional analysis:

    s = √ (m / (m/s²))

    Therefore:

    P = k √ (L/g)

    where k is a dimensionless constant.
