Dimensional formula of Pressure gradient – how to find?

Last updated on December 28th, 2021 at 02:10 pm

Here, we will find out the dimensional formula of the Pressure gradient.

The formula of the Pressure gradient = pressure/distance

The dimensional formula of pressure = [ML^–1T^–2] [see here how to find the dimensional formula of pressure ]

The dimension of distance = [L]

Hence, the Dimensional formula of Pressure gradient =
The dimension of pressure / The dimension of distance
= [ML^–1T^–2] / [L]
= [ML^–2T^–2]

Dimensional formula of Pressure gradient = [ML^–2T^–2]
