Dimensions and Units
The dimension of mass, M, can be related to the dimension of force, length, and time using Newton’s Second Law. F = m a where F is the force acting on a particle with the dimension F m is mass of the particle with the dimension M a is the acceleration of the particle with the dimensions L/T2 So using dimensions and Newton's Law: F = M L/T2 and M = FT2 / L which are the dimensions of M in terms of the primary dimensions F, L, and T Table of Consistent Units for each
