    This document discusses dimensional analysis and units for different physical quantities. It analyzes the dimensions of variables in two equations: 1) An equation for force (F) involving mass (M) and acceleration (a). 2) Kant's second law involving displacement (S), gravitational constant (k), acceleration (a), and time (t). It determines the dimensional units for each variable by comparing the powers of fundamental dimensions (M, L, T) on both sides of the equations.
