  • AE d P^-1
  • BE d P^-2
  • CE¹/2 d^-1 P^-1
  • DE d^-1 P^-1
Explanation

We need to find x, y, z such that [T] = [E]^x [d]^y [P]^z. Standard dimensions: [T] = [T], [E] = [M L² T^-2], [d] = [M L^-3], [P] = [M L² T^-3]. Equating powers of M, L, T: M: 0 = x + y + z L: 0 = 2x - 3y + 2z T: 1 = -2x - 3z Solving these simultaneous equations yields x=1, y=-1, z=-1. So, [T] = E¹ d^-1 P^-1.
