minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 month agoBasically any unit can be squared, cubed or whatever, but the resulting unit doesn’t always make sense in the physical world. For example, m/s^2 isn’t velocity. It’s acceleration. If you have a formula that gives you an answer in kg^3, you probably made a mistake somewhere.
