Which one of the following pairs has different dimensions?

Pressure and stress both share the same dimensional formula \[ML−1T−2\], but energy has \[ML2T−2\]. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that Pressure and Energy is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.
