Homework Statement
A clock is placed on a floor covered with lead density [tex]\rho[/tex] and thickness d. Use dimensional analysis to show that increase in gravitational field strength at the clock dueo to the layer of lead is proportional to [tex]Gd\rho[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
to show that [tex]\Delta g = kGd\rho[/tex]
units of [tex]\Delta g = m s^{-2} [/tex]
units of [tex]Gd\rho = m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2}kgm^{-3}[/tex]
I don't get why they're not the same.
