Document Summary

Dimensions on left side must be the same as the dimensions on the right side in order to even possibly be equal. If f = mass x acceleration = mass x (distance / time2) [m] [l] [t]-2 = [m] [l] [t]-2. Engineering students must be fluent in metric and english systems. Often named after dead people, and thus capitalised. Weight = m x g newtons or kg m/s2. Density = mass / volume kg m-3. Pressure = force/ area pascal or newton/m2 or kg/ms2. Work = force x distance joules or newtons x meter or kg x m2 x s-2.
