Hi everyone,
I have a conceptual question about entropy. I understand perfectly why mathematically the units of entropy are energy per temperature (SI: J / K). However, I would like to better understand the significance of these units.
For example, the SI units for speed/velocity are m / s...
A lot of problems I see have vertical mass-spring systems, where a mass m hangs from a spring with spring constant k stretching it a distance D, and usually all but one of those quantities is known. But would you equate the forces or the energies, i.e. which is the correct equation to use: mg=kD...
