A large fluid star ossilates in shape under the abundance of its own gravitational field.Using dimensional analysis find the expression for period of oscillation (T) in terms of radius of star (R),mean density of fluid (p) and gravitational constant (G)

Let the period of oscillation T of a large fluid star depends on the radius of star, R, the mean density of fluid, {tex}\rho{/tex} and universal gravitational constant, G as:
T = k Ra {tex}\rho{/tex}b Gc, where k is a dimensionless constant and a, b, c are their exponents.
Now, equating the dimensions on both the sides, we have,
[Mo Lo T1] = [L]a [M L-3]b [M-1 L3 T-2]c = Mb-c La-3b+3c T-2c
On comparing powers of M, L and T on both sides, we get,
b - c = 0 ...(i)
a - 3b + 3c = 0 ...(ii)
and - 2c = 1 ...(iii)
On simplifying these equations, we get c = {tex}-\frac{1}{2}{/tex}, b = {tex}-\frac{1}{2}{/tex} and a = 0
Thus, period of oscillation, T = {tex}k \rho^{-\frac{1}{2}} G^{-\frac{1}{2}}{/tex}{tex}\frac{k}{\sqrt{\rho G}}{/tex}
This is the required expression.
