  • A[M L^-1 T^-1]
  • B[M L^-2 T^-1]
  • C[M L T^-1]
  • D[M L T^-2]
Explanation

From F = eta A (dv/dx), we get [eta] = [F] / ([A] * [dv/dx]). Dimensions of F = [M L T^-2]. Dimensions of A = [L²]. Dimensions of dv/dx = ([L T^-1] / [L]) = [T^-1]. So, [eta] = [M L T^-2] / ([L²] * [T^-1]) = [M L^-1 T^-1].
