Written solution
Step 1: Analyze the exponential term.
The argument of an exponential function must be dimensionless.
Step 2: Find the dimensions of the known quantities in the exponent.
The dimension of distance is length, and the product of Boltzmann's constant and temperature has the dimensions of energy.
Step 3: Determine the dimensions of .
Solve for the dimensions of using the dimensionless condition of the exponent.
Step 4: Determine the dimensions of pressure .
Pressure is defined as force per unit area.
Step 5: Determine the dimensions of .
Since the exponential term is dimensionless, the pre-factor must have the same dimensions as pressure .
Answer: The dimensions of are .
