Dimensions of Pressure – Rankers Physics

Dimensions: Practice Problem & Solution

Which of the following has the dimensions of pressure? [1994,90]
\(MLT^{-2}\)
\(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\)
\(ML^{-2}T^{-2}\)
\(M^{-1}L^{-1}\)

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Dimensions. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Pressure is defined as Force per unit Area. Its dimensions are \(MLT^{-2} / L^2 = ML^{-1}T^{-2}\).
