Hi there! Lets see!
- m is mass, and its units are kg
- k is the elastic constant measured in newtons per meter (N/m), or kilograms per second squared kg/s²
Therefore:
[tex]\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[\dfrac{kg}{s^2}]}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[kg]}\cdot s^2} = \sqrt{[s]^2} = s[/tex]
The period is given in seconds so the formula is dimensionally correct.
