state & obtain unit & dimension of pressure
Answers
Answer:
Units and dimensions
precipitation has the dimension length [L] and the unit cm or mm or inch
many quantities have a dimension that is some combination of these fundamental dimensions
in equations, the dimensions on both sides have to match
the most common system of units employed today is the SI (System International d'Unites)
