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.
