A to Z Formula

What is the Dimensional Formula of Pressure?

Pressure is defined as force per unit area.Mathematically its formula is

Pressure = Force/Area
Now, we have already derived the dimensional formula for force and area in previous posts. So
Dimensional Formula of Force= M1L1T-2
Dimensional Formula of Area= M0L2T0
Thus
Dimensional Formula of Pressure = (M1L1T-2)/(M0L2T0)
Dimensional Formula of Pressure = M1L-1T-2
SI unit of Pressure is  Nm-2(Nm-2 is also called as Pascal).

we can also state that SI unit of Pressure is Pascal
Note – Stress also has the same dimensional formula
