Answer

${\mathrm{RHS}}=\left[{\frac{M L}{T^{2}}}\right]=F$

Work Step by Step

Stokes' law staes: $\begin{array}{c}{{D=3\pi\mu V D}}\\ {{\mathrm{RHS}=3\pi\left[{\frac{M}{L T}}\right]\left[{\frac{L}{T}}\right][L]}}\end{array}$ $(3\pi)$ is dimensionless ${\mathrm{RHS}}=\left[{\frac{M L}{T^{2}}}\right]=F$ This is the unit of force (newton): $1\text{ N}=\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}^2$
