What Unit is 4.8912e12 m2 kg/s^4?

Change the forum if this is in the wrong place but I was doing some math (multiplying hertz and watts) and I came with 4.8912 × 10^12 m^2 kg / s^4, I don't know what unit that is, so can anybody tell me if there even is one?

there is no known physical quantity with those dimensions.

Watt = Joule/s = kg*m^2*s^{-3}

Hertz = s^{-1}

So your units are correct. Basically it's Joules per s^2, or Watts per second.

But as pointed out, it is unusual to multiply power and frequency. What was the calculation for?

 

[iphilosopher]

I meant to divide hertz and watts and I would get 2 122.91667 m^-2 * kg^-1 * s^2 so now I think my question truly is what is that unit

As asked, what are you trying to accomplish? It almost seems like you are doing blind math, hoping to stumble on something interesting.

I was trying to find how far one photon can go like with a radio transmitter, how far could one of those photons could go. And now I found I did not have enough information to do these calculations.

There's no limit to how far a photon can go. But I'm not sure you can come to a conclusion like that by doing dimensional analysis. Sometimes interesting things can pop out though.
