If the equation of state of a gas is expressed as (P + a/(V^2)) (V - b) = RT where P is the pressure, V is the volume and T the absolute temperature and a, b , R are constants, then find the dimensions of 'a' and 'b' ?

The vander waal's equation for a gas is (p + a/V^(2))(V - b) = nRT where p, V, R, T and n represent the Pressure, Volume, universal gas constant, absolute temperature and number of moles of a gas respectively, where a and b are constants. The ratio b/a will have the following dimensional formula
