SUMMARY
The unit conversion for the expression ML-2T-1 is definitively kg m2/s3. This conclusion is derived from the dimensional analysis of mass (M), length (L), and time (T) units. The discussion clarifies that the initial confusion regarding the units kg/m2s is incorrect, and the correct interpretation aligns with the standard units of power in physics.
