Unit and dimension analysis
Read Dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their fundamental dimensions (such as length, mass, time, and electric charge) and units of measure (such as miles vs. kilometers, or pounds vs. kilograms vs. grams) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed. Dimensional analysis is a widely used technique for conversions using the rules of algebra. The concept of Physical dimension was introduced by Joseph Fourier in Physical quantities that are commensurable have the same dimension; if they have different dimensions, they are incommensurable. For example, it is meaningless to ask whether a kilogram is less, the same, or more than an hour. EQ:How can use proportions to do conversions? ?
