Hi,
LON-CAPA can typically identify equivalent units. We're hitting the part
of the year where things can get rather strange. We'll obviously
experiment with what works, but is there a general rule or set of rules
about what units will be recognized as equivalent? (I'm presuming this
one's for Gerd, Guy or Ed 8) )
For example:
J/C =? V
N/C =? V/m
F =? C/V
Pa =? N/m
As an aside, is J/kg*K interpreted as
J*K/kg or J/(kg*K)?
Thanks!
Mark
