Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T} \propto \mathrm{m}^{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{G}^{\mathrm{y}} \mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{z}} \\ & \mathrm{T} \propto \mathrm{M}^{\mathrm{x}}\left[\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]^y[\mathrm{~L}]^{\mathrm{z}} \\ & \mathrm{T} \propto…
