Homework Statement
I am writing up a lab report on Centripetal force. One thing I have to do is graph Force vs 1/(Period squared). What would be the unit of the slope of this graph?
Relevant Equations
The force is in Newtons and the Period is in seconds.

Take the equation that you are plotting.
Replace ##F## with ##y##,
Replace ##\dfrac{1}{T^2}## with ##x##.
It should now look like ##y=\text{something}*x##. The slope is something. What are its units?
