SUMMARY
The discussion centers on converting the value of 12*10-16 m7 N-3 y-1 to kPa-3 m2 s-1. Participants highlight the complexity of the conversion due to the non-SI unit of "year," which lacks a standardized definition in seconds. The conversion also involves understanding that 1 Pa equals 1 N m-2, which complicates the process further. The thread concludes with a suggestion to seek help in the homework section if additional assistance is needed.
