AI Thread Summary
To ensure consistency in units when working with density and rotation, it is crucial to select a coherent system, such as MKS (meter-kilogram-second). For density, the appropriate unit is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). Rotation can be expressed in radians per second (rad/s) when using the MKS system. Mixing units like Newtons, millimeters, and megapascals can lead to confusion and errors. Adopting a single unit system simplifies calculations and enhances clarity in measurements.

Please can anyone help me?I'm confused here.

If I'm following unit of force as Newton, and length as mm; and stress as MPa,then for a consistent system of units (see link below);

what should be the unit for:
1)density
2) rotation

for me I would convert everything to MKS and then work it out rather than mix and match various units of measure unless there is a clear reason to do otherwise. Similarly for choosing CGS...
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
