Here's how we arrive at this:
* M: Represents mass, which is measured in kilograms (kg).
* L: Represents length, which is measured in meters (m).
* T: Represents time, which is measured in seconds (s).
Understanding the Formula:
Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.
* Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which has the dimensions of [L T⁻²].
Therefore, the dimensional formula of force can be derived as:
Force = Mass x Acceleration
[F] = [M] x [L T⁻²]
[F] = [M L T⁻²]
