Step1: Recall dimension - area
Area is the product of two lengths, so its dimension is $L^2$.
Step2: Recall dimension - volume
Volume is the product of three lengths, so its dimension is $L^3$.
Step3: Recall dimension - velocity
Velocity is distance (length) per time, so its dimension is $L/T$.
Step4: Recall dimension - acceleration
Acceleration is change in velocity per time, so its dimension is $L/T^2$.
Step5: Recall dimension - force
Force is mass times acceleration ($F = ma$), so its dimension is $M\times L/T^2=ML/T^2$.
Step6: Recall dimension - work
Work is force times distance ($W = Fd$), so its dimension is $ML/T^2\times L = ML^2/T^2$.
Step7: Recall dimension - power
Power is work per time ($P=W/t$), so its dimension is $ML^2/T^2\div T=ML^2/T^3$.
Step8: Recall dimension - pressure
Pressure is force per area ($P = F/A$), so its dimension is $ML/T^2\div L^2 = M/LT^2$.
Step9: Recall equations
Area of rectangle: $A = LW$; Volume of cube: $V = L^3$; Velocity: $v=\frac{d}{t}$; Acceleration: $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$; Force: $F = ma$; Work: $W = Fd$; Power: $P=\frac{W}{t}$; Pressure: $P=\frac{F}{A}$
