Definition

Use

Exponent of base dimension length for defining other dimensions which are derived from this base dimension among others.

Procedure

Examples

1. The dimension area is derived from thr base dimension length: length times length.
   The definition of the dimension area in the dimension table is as follows:

exponent of base dimension length:                    2
exponent of all other base dimensions:            0

1. The dimension velocity is derived from the base dimensions length and time: length per time.
   The definition of the dimension velocity in the dimension table is as follows:

exponent of base dimension length:                    1
exponent of basis dimension time:                    -1
exponent of all other basis dimensions:        0
