The dimension of Bulk Modulus is [ $M$ $L^-1$ $T^-2$ ]

Explanation:

We know,
Bulk Modulus = $"Stress"/"Strain"$

Since the denominator strain is a dimensionless quantity , the dimensions of Bulk Modulus is same as Pressure.

Pressure = $"Force"/"Area"$
=[ $M$ $L$ $T^-2$ / $L^2$ ]
=[M $L^-1$ $T^-2$ ]

While writing the dimensions... you should write them in square brackets.
