Simple dimensional analysis question?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between force and speed in the context of power. Power is defined as the product of force and speed. The participants clarify that power has specific units derived from mass (M), length (L), and time (T). Common units of power mentioned include horse, erg, watt, kilowatt, and newton-meter per second. The conversation emphasizes understanding these concepts in a scientific context, especially for beginners in the field.

How pls??
 


What are the units of power?
 


yes that's it power = force.speed

but I was wondering how to write it in a scientific way it's my 1st lecture in this field...
