Homework Statement


Dimensions: These derivations are not correct ( as stated by the book)

I'm just reading my textbook at the moment and I saw this example ( So I don't have work for it myself by the book shows all the steps).

***√[L]/[L/T^2] =√[T^2]


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I just want this to be explained as the book does not explain it, it just shows steps.

How does***√[L]/[L/T^2] equal √[T^2]?

Do you mean [tex] \sqrt {\frac{{[L]}}{{\frac{{[L]}}{{[T]^2 }}}}}[/tex] ??
 


[tex] \frac{L}{L/T^2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by T^2, simply, and you'll get the answer.
