[QUOTE="Bandersnatch, post: 4944154, member: 399360"] Hi Anique, What exactly is the confusion? A dimensions is what you measure, for example length, mass. A unit is what you measure the dimension in. E.g. units of length are metres, feet, light-years etc. In dimensional analysis you always want the most fundamental dimensions possible, so rather than calling force a dimension, you express it in terms of more fundamental dimensions: MLT[SUP]-2[/SUP] (since Newton is kg*m/s^2) It's correct.
