01 Units & Dimensional Analysis
SI base units
length: m mass: kg time: s current: A temp.: K
kg ⋅ m N
Derived units N= Pa = J =N ⋅m
s2 m2
Pressure conversions 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 760 mmHg
Energy conversion 1 cal = 4.184 J
?
Dimensional check [your answer’s units] = [expected units]

Dimensional analysis isn't busywork here — mismatched units are the fastest way to
eliminate two of four answer choices before you've finished the math.
