specific entropy - Answers -Joule per kilogram Kelvin (J/kg*K)
specific energy - Answers -Joule per kilogram
thermal conductivity - Answers -Watt per meter Kelvin (W/m*K)
energy density - Answers -Joule per cubic meter (J/m³)
electric field strength - Answers -Volt per meter (V/m)
electric charge density - Answers -couloumb per cubic meter
electric flux density - Answers -couloub per square meter (C/m²)

Relationship between mass and weight - Answers -W=mg where g is the gravitational
constant; mass remains constant and is an inherent property of the item, weight is
dependent upon the value of g at a given location
, Gravitational constant on earth (English and SI) - Answers -g = 32.2 ft/sec²; 9.81m/s²
Note on consistent and inconsistent units - Answers -Using consistent units is
preferable but may not be needed. When inconsistency arises, simply be sure to note
when conversion factors are needed.
Definition of weight - Answers -W= g/gc; the force exerted on an object given it position
in a gravitational field
Specific weight(weight density) - Answers -γ=W/V where v is volume
