Adding and Multiplying Quantities with Units
Not what you're looking for?
The problem I'm trying to solve involves the equation P=M(av - b) where M is the mass of the runner in kilograms and v is the speed in meters per minute. The constants a and b have the values:
a=1.02 x 10^-3 kcal/kg m and b=2.62 x 10^2 kcal/kg min.
Does the kcal/kg m and kcal/kg min. following each value refer to what each value represents or does it mean I have to multiply kcal/kg m or kcal/kg min. by the numeric part of each value?
This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm partially brain dead from studying ceaselessly for exams for the past week and half.
