The correct answer is: $\left[\mathrm{FL}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{2}\right]$
Let $\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{KF}^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{L}^{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{T}^{\mathrm{c}}$

Substituting the dimensions of

$[\mathrm{F}]=\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right],[\mathrm{L}]=[\mathrm{L}]$ and $[\mathrm{T}]=[\mathrm{T}]$ and comparing both side, we get $\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{FL}^{-1} \mathrm{~T}^{2}$
