When the bulk modulus is constant (independent of pressure), this is a specific form of Hooke's law of elasticity. Because the denominator, strain, is a ratio without dimensions, the dimensions of the bulk modulusare those of pressure, force per unitarea.

Hey mate,
◆ Bulk Modulus -
Bulk modulus is the ratio of volumetric stress to volumetric strain.
B = Volumetric stress / Volumetric strain
◆ Unit of B-
As strain is a unitless quantity, B has same units as of stress or pressure. i.e. Newton/Sq.meter (N/m^2).
This is also called as Pascal (Pa).
◆ Dimensions of B-
As strain is a dimensionless quantity, B has same dimensions as of stress or pressure. i.e. [ML^-1T^-2]
Hope that is useful...
