Dimensional Analysis
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Dimensional analysis allows us to change the units used to express a value. For instance, it allows us to convert between volume expressed in liters and volume expressed in gallons. The following video gives a brief overview of dimensional analysis, including conversion between the amount of a substance ... More »
