- T = L^2
Hi
I am trying to figure understand what happens to the units when I perform calculations on them. For instance, given the equation:-
T = L^2
If the value of L was 78mm then what would the value of T be?
Would it be:
(78mm)^2 = 78^2 mm^2 = 6084mm^2
or would it be:-
(78mm)^2 = 78^2 = 6084mm
Can anyone shed any light?
Thank you.
