Abstract

A five dimensional cosmological model with FLRW type Kaluza-Klien metric has been investigated with static extra dimensions and varying cosmological constant. The field equations with static extra dimension are solved by considering the cosmological constant as a function of time for different cases. The effective pressure is considered as the difference of pressure corresponding to the extra dimension and the usual four dimensions. The conditions for acceleration of the universe are then discussed.
