What do those units of measure mean? Noise power density (what you graph in a power vs. frequency graph) has units of power/Hz. But amplifiers are more often discussed in terms of voltage (sometimes current), where voltage (at a fixed impedance) goes as the square root of power. So, the units of (voltage) noise density are Volts/(square root Hertz). This will the seen in graphs of noise in amplifier data sheets. -- glen

Both > together don't make a new or derived unit. I learned CGS originally, in which "cm" is the base unit and "m" is the derived unit. Later, we switched to MKS, which has a similar problem: "kg" is the base unit and "g" is the derived unit. You're approaching this from a purely algebraic perspective, in which each letter _must_ be a different variable: "cm" means "c*m". However, this particular field allows multi-letter variables: a "cm" is not "c*m"; it is an independent unit that just happens to be 1/100th of an "m". >> It's always "cm^3", just as a square kilometer (100ha) is always >> "km^2". > > Oh my... What, you think it's a "k^2m^2"?

I suppose one could write g=9.8mHz^2 (not 9.8mH^2z^2), which is where I expect you're going with that, but I've never seen it. > Did you ever have physics and mathematics at school? Of course. The only point we disagree on is whether "cm" is a unit itself or only a multiplier times a unit. >> What the standards say and what happens in the real world often >> differ. > > Perhaps in the US, that's why sometime a spaceshuttle explodes or > something like that... Well, we did have a spacecraft crash into Mars because someone screwed up a US/metric units conversion. OTOH, an airliner in Canada (cf. Gimli Glider) run out of fuel mid-flight due to a bad imperial/metric conversion, so we're not alone. > No, units are not just a standard that may happen differently, they are > as they are and not subject to discussions. Ah, a purist. I'm not trying to justify people not following the standards, as I try to follow them myself when feasible; what I am doing is trying to explain non-standard behavior in others and why it is so common, which if purists paid attention to, would result in better standards that people would choose to follow--rather than having it shoved down their throats.

If you manage to eradicate the old units, as Canada mostly has, that is a short-term problem. If you don't and keep using both sets of units, as the US has, it becomes a long-term problem.

The Gimli glider was an amazing piece of both bad and good airmanship. Bad choice of units but they did minimal damage in the landing. They flew the ac out of Gimli and it wasn't very long later I was on an AC flight from Toronto to San Francisco and though I recognized the registration. As I passed the cockpit on exiting I asked. Yup it was the Gimli Glider. Capt looked at me and said I guess we (his crew) know which units to use. :) w..

And not entirely the crew's fault. They had double luck in that one of them knew about Gimli, and the other was actually a rather good glider pilot. -- Using UNIX since v6 (1975)...

The landing was a case of phenomenal airmanship. I'm not sure I'd count the fuel issue as bad airmanship since it was a paperwork exercise on the ground. It was ultimately the pilot's fault for trusting the ground crew to provide the correct conversion factor, but I suspect most pilots would make the same mistake in those (very unusual) circumstances.

It was also a very unfortunate combination of circumstances.

I suppose, but Hz is meant to be for periodic quantities. Now, I suppose if someone drives to school every day, and back home at night, that is periodic. To make it more interesting, physics is more often done in radians/second, where mathematically radians are more fundamental, and the radians are usually not written. Angular frequency usually has units of s^-1. In that sense, Hz is 2*pi*s^-1. >> What the standards say and what happens in the real world often differ. > Perhaps in the US, that's why sometime a spaceshuttle explodes or > something like that...

If memory serves hypodermic syringes used to be labeled with "cc" for cubic centimeters, but I think they are now labeled mL instead. Small engine displacements are still listed as cc's however: http://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Trimmers/SRM-230 right edge specifications: "Engine Displacement (cc) 22.8"

A local manufacturer hedges its bets; they're labeled "mL/cc". -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.

More than just casual conversation or small engines, take a look at this Irish government table of tax rates by engine size: http://www.environ.ie/en/LocalGovernment/MotorTax/MotorTaxRates/MotorTaxRatesBasedonEngineSize/ Note the heading c.c. on the engine size column, and the final entry 3001 or more. Coon use here is cc for all sizes, I think for much the same reason that LED output is given in millicandella even when it reaches 10,000 or more of them. While you're there cringe at the rates. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
