Re: [Phys-L] unit for "pure ratio"



There’s another aspect to this pertaining to the final unit after you have done the math. For example using the coefficient of friction in the calculation yields a force which is in Newtons. Ff = “mu" (x) Fnormal But calling the “mu” with the unit “perun" will give the final answer perun-Newtons which doesn’t make any sense. If you leave the perun unit out then why have it at all?
