Pressure and energy density


Assertion (A): Pressure and energy density have same units in SI.
Reason (R): Dimensions of energy density and pressure are same.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Pressure has dimensions of \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\). Energy density (energy per unit volume) also simplifies to \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\). Since their dimensions are identical, they share the same SI units.
