We can derive the dimensional formula from the general formula with three Dimensional units LENGTH(L),MASS(M) And Time(T).
ITS WRITTEN IN FORM OF [M^a L^b T^c ]
EX:-THE DIMENSIONAL FORMULA OF SPEED HOW TO FIND ???

1) WRITE THE GENERAL FORMULA OF SPEED

SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME

2)WRITE THE UNITS OF PHYSICAL QUANTITY

DISTANCE SI UNIT IS m
TIME SI UNIT IS sec

3)Write the units in place of physical quantities

Speed =m/sec

4)write the dimensional units with presence of it in the units

MASS(M) - 0 "a" (because there is no mass here)
LENGTH(L) - 1 "b" (because there is length one time )
TIME(T) - -1 "c" (because it is in form of 1/t means power is -1)

Note :- The Powers of dimensional formula a,b,c are decided on basis of the power of physical quantities.

5)Now write the dimensional formula

IT SHOULD BE IN SQUARE BRACKETS.

[M^0 L^1 T^-1 ] IS THE DIMENSIONAL FORMULA OF SPEED.
