Dimensions of Physical Quantities
The limit of a derived quantity in terms of necessary basic units is called dimensional formula and the raised powers on the basic units are dimensions.The basic units are represented as :
Note :
1. A physical quantity may have a number of units but their dimensions would be same,
Ex. The units of velocity are: $\mathrm{cms}^{-1}, \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}, \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. But the dimensional formula is $\mathrm{M}^{0} \mathrm{~L}^{1} \mathrm{~T}^{1}$.
2. Dimension does not depend on the unit of quantity.
