Dimensional formula of linear mass density

Linear mass density

[M L⁻¹]

Written in full: [M¹ L⁻¹ T⁰ A⁰ K⁰]

How to derive it

Linear mass density = Mass ÷ Length

Put in the dimensions of each part: [M] ÷ [L] = [M L⁻¹].

mass (M): 1
length (L): -1
time (T): 0
current (A): 0
temperature (K): 0

SI unit

The SI unit of linear mass density is kg/m.
