Homework Statement

So I'm wondering what the units seconds/degrees squared represents?

The Attempt at a Solution

I know the unit of angular acceleration magnitude is degree/second squared. Are these related?

Angular acceleration is rad/s². Radians are non-units and seconds are units of time. :)

Angular acceleration is rad/s². Radians are non-units and seconds are units of time. :)

But what does the unit s/deg^2 mean? what does it produce?

Where did you get these units? Is this a final answer of yours, a constant, or from something else?

ok well I', doing a pendulum lab. And I graphed period against amplitude, then I linearized it.. in order to do that , I had to square my x-axis units which was amplitude (deg)

so the slope is s/deg^2

And I'm just wondering what it might mean..
