Appendix A: Units and Conversion of Units

Abstract

The units are organized by dimension starting with length L and progressing through mass, force, energy, electrical and magnetic units. Under each cluster of units may also be included the reciprocal. Thus the set of units of dimensions M/L 2 T also has the units of dimensions L 2 T/M. Order-of-magnitude values are often included. At the end of this appendix are the physical constants and conversion of temperatures.
