derive the poiseuille's formula dimensionly

As poiseuille formula is given by:-
V=πPr48ηl
Dimension of pressure:-  P=Fa=MLT-2L2=ML-1T-2
Dimension of r4=L4.
Dimension of l = L.
As coefficient of viscocity(η)=Tangential stressVelocity gradient=F/Av/l=FlvA=[MLT-2][L]/[LT-1][L2]=[ML-1T-1]
Put the dimensions of r4,l,p and η in the poiseuille's formula:-
we get:-
V=[M0L3T-1]
As V is the volume passing per second, the dimensions are equated.
