unit of mass

Post by JoseLeo » Mon Mar 14, 2005 11:36 pm

hi everyone..

i have an inquiry about the unit of mass for respective input units of force and length, that is;

#Units: kN, m, sec

#Units: N, m, sec

#Units: N, mm, sec

for each case, is there an appropriate unit (kg, Ton, gm) for the mass? or is it just 'kg' all throughout for SI units?

tnx.

i tried using 'kg' unit for mass for each case;

a) #Units: kN, m,s
b) #Units: N, m, s
c) #Units: N, mm, s

...but got variable results. there must be an appropriate unit for mass in each case.
