Dimension of Tension: Tension is a pulling force that acts along a medium that is being applied an external force. This tension acts axially i.e. along with length. The action-reaction pair of forces that are present at each end of the element can also be referred to as tension. The opposite of compression might be tension. Tension Dimensional Formula is
M1L1T -2
In this article, we obtain the Dimension of Tension along with its derivations.

Dimension of Tension and Its Derivation
Since Surface Tension is a type of Force, the Dimension of Tension is equal to the Dimension of Force

Derivation of Dimension of Tension
The Dimensional Formula is written as follows.
Where,
M represents Mass
L represents Length
T represents Time
and a, b and c are the powers of M, L and T respectively
Dimension of Mass = M1L0T0
Dimension of Distance = M0L1T0
Dimension of Time = M0L0T1
Dimension of Velocity = M0L1T-1 (obtained by dividing Dimension of Distance by Dimension of Time)
Since we know that
Hence
Also, we know that
Hence, proved that the Dimension of Tension is M1L1T-2
