Formulas and Key Relations

1. Core Ideas

unit of velocity = (unit of length)^1 × (unit of time)^-1

[L^a M^b T^c]

2. Dimensional Formulae of Important Quantities

Area = [M^0 L^2 T^0]

Density = [ML^-3 T^0]

Force = [MLT^-2]

Work = [ML^2T^-2]

Power = [ML^2T^-3]

4. Unit Conversion by Dimensions

n2 = n1 (M1/M2)^a (L1/L2)^b (T1/T2)^c

Key relations

For a simple pendulum, dimensional analysis gives T = k sqrt(l/g), and experimentally k = 2 pi, so T = 2 pi sqrt(l/g).
