Answer The dimensions of $LHS$ are
$[ M ]\left[ L T ^{-1}\right]^{2}=[ M ]\left[ L ^{2} T ^{-2}\right]$
$=\left[ M L ^{2} T ^{-2}\right]$
The dimensions of $RHS$ are
$[ M ]\left[ L T ^{-2}\right][ L ]=[ M ]\left[ L ^{2} T ^{-2}\right]$
$=\left[ M L ^{2} T ^{-2}\right]$
The dimensions of $LHS$ and $RHS$ are the same and hence the equation is dimensionally correct.

Young-Laplace law states that the excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by $\Delta P=4 \sigma / R$, where $\sigma$ is the coefficient of surface tension of the soap. The EOTVOS number $E_0$ is a dimensionless number that is used to describe the shape of bubbles rising through a surrounding fluid. It is a combination of $g$, the acceleration due to gravity $\rho$ the density of the surrounding fluid $\sigma$ and a characteristic length scale $L$ which could be the radius of the bubble. A possible expression for $E_0$ is
