Dimensional analysis is a way by which the relationships between the various physical quantities are determined and analyzed. This is done by first identifying their base quantities and the measuring units and then the dimensions are tracked by doing various calculations and comparisons. It is easier to convert the dimensional units into another when they are in the SI system.
It is also named as factor label method and unit factor method and is commonly employed in conversions by using the algebraic rules. The dimensional homogeneity enables us to determine the physically meaningful equations as the dimensions on both the right-hand and left-hand sides are the same.
