That word has TWO MEANINGS. In one of them we >talk about length, area and volume only (or more in >some cases, possibly mathematically derived). >..... The second meaning refers to all sorts of units, >as part of what I might call families. >LENGTH: (L) for example meters, feet, miles, etc. >AREA: (L squared) for example Square meters, Square >feet, etc. >VOLUME: (L cubed) for example Cubic meters, gallons, >liters, etc. >VELOCITY: (L/T) Length divided by time, or length per >time >ACCELERATION: (L/(Time squared)) >FORCE: (M*L/(Time squared) Mass times acceleration >etc. many more. If interested see a book on >dimensional analysis. It can be useful in checking out >some equations for mistakes. >..... Have a happy and healthy whole year 2003!
