SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the representation of dimensions using the fundamental dimensions of Length (L), Mass (M), and Time (T). The user seeks clarification on expressing the dimension of a quantity, specifically through examples such as 1 = 1s × 1Hz and 1 = 1 (kg m/s) × 1 (s/kg m). The consensus indicates that these representations are valid and that there are no alternative methods for expressing these dimensions within the given framework.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dimensional analysis
  • Familiarity with fundamental dimensions (Length, Mass, Time)
  • Knowledge of units of measurement (e.g., seconds, kilograms, meters)
  • Basic grasp of physics concepts related to dimensional equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research dimensional analysis techniques in physics
  • Explore advanced topics in unit conversion and dimensional consistency
  • Study the implications of dimensional homogeneity in physical equations
  • Learn about the use of dimensional analysis in engineering applications
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching dimensional analysis, and professionals in engineering fields who require a solid understanding of dimensional representation in equations.

As known,we can use 3 basic dimensions to represent other dimensions,but how to represent I with L,M,T?

Hello? Is there anyone could help me?
 
For example, 1 = 1s \times 1Hz = 1 \frac{s}{s} or 1 = 1 \frac{kg m}{s} \times 1\frac{s}{kg m}

I don't think there is another possibility ...
