Analysis dimensional formula; express derived units in
terms of base units (N = kg.m s-2 ); use
symbol […] for dimensions of or base unit
of; e.g.: dimensional formula of force in

 [F] = [MLT–2 ].Principle of homogeneity of
dimensions. Expressions in terms of SI base
units and dimensional formula may be
obtained for all physical quantities as and
when new physical quantities are introduced.
