SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for a comprehensive chart or list detailing quantities and their dimensions using the MLtT (Metric Length to Time) and FLtT (Foot Length to Time) systems, along with corresponding SI and English units. Participants emphasize that such information is typically found in standard undergraduate physics textbooks. Additionally, they suggest checking rulers, meter scales, and diaries, particularly those printed in India, as they often include these conversions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MLtT and FLtT systems
  • Familiarity with SI and English units of measurement
  • Basic knowledge of dimensional analysis
  • Access to standard undergraduate physics textbooks
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the MLtT and FLtT systems in detail
  • Compile a list of standard physics textbooks that include dimensional charts
  • Explore online resources for unit conversion tools
  • Investigate the use of rulers and scales in practical applications
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, educators teaching measurement concepts, and professionals requiring precise unit conversions in scientific work.

Sorry if its here somewhere but I couldn't find it, where can I find a chart/list for quantities listing their dimensions using the MLtT and FLtT systems and also give the typical SI and English units?

Thanks

Its given in all atandard Physics books of undergrad level. I don't know if its somewhere in the site, but I want you to have a close look on you ruler, metre scale, books, etc. Another thing to search for this is your diary. Most of them (printed in India atleast) contain such conversions.
