SUMMARY
The equation P + av² = b is dimensionally correct, where P represents pressure and v represents velocity. The unit of 'a' is determined to be similar to density, as all terms in the equation must share the same units. The variable 'b' is inferred to have units of pressure, although its status as a constant is not explicitly defined in the discussion. Therefore, the equation maintains dimensional consistency across its components.
