Take 2 Sometimes units don't make sense (this is what I vaguely recall from those old school books) For example: force = mass x acceleration acceleration is expressed as meters/sec^2 so, force = mass x meters/sec^2 So what is force per unit area. If you work that out using the same mathematical logic used for liters per 100 km you get the following unit: kg/meters x sec^2 is the unit of force per unit area. Totally meaningless. I don't think this unit has any real world significance. shiv
