Unit and Dimension Notes

The document discusses physical quantities and their dimensions. It defines 7 base quantities - length, mass, time, temperature, amount of substance, electric current, and luminous intensity. Derived quantities are obtained from base quantities and have dimensions expressed as products and ratios of the base dimensions. Dimensional analysis uses the principle of homogeneity to relate physical quantities by equating their dimensional formulas. It can be used to find relationships between physical quantities and check the consistency of equations.
