If two physical quantities a and b are related by the equation a= kb where k is dimensionless constant, then the principle of dimensional homogeneity demands that a and b have the same dimension. However the proportionality constant k cannot be determined by dimensional analysis only. It may at most be written that a prop b if a and b are of the same dimension.
