Answer 1

Depression means stress or pressure so here is your answer hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Dimensional formula of depression is $\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-1} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]$

Explanation:

The depression is the presence of pressure or stress over a specified area, therefore, we can say that stress or pressure over an area is depression.

As we know that, Stress = Force per unit area

$\text{Stress} =\frac{\text { Force }}{\text { Area }}$

$=\frac{\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{L}^{2}\right]}$

$=\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right]\left[\mathrm{L}^{-2}\right]$

$=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{1-2} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]$

$\Rightarrow \text { Stress }=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-1} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]$
