• 2-person teams, both sign names
• Pass in by end of class
• Graded by TA
• If incorrect, students can correct later for full credit

In-Class Activity #1
A study of households and businesses in the Boston, Massachusetts area found that air conditioning units were used for an average of 4600 hours per year. Determine the total annual cost of electricity required to operate a 10,000 Btu/hr air conditioning unit in the Boston area if the electric rate is $ 0.071/kWhr.

Notation • The units of variables will be referred to by
putting the variables in brackets
• Consider the equation: v-vo = a·t
• What is the equation saying?
![Page 7: Review SI Units](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814036550346895dab9f3f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• [v] will refer to the dimension of v[t] will refer to the dimension of t
• In order to determine the units of an unknown (say a), we need to be able to write equations in terms of units, e.g.
ov v a t

Rules of Homogeneity
• Definition: An equation is said to be dimensionally homogeneous if all terms separated by plus and minus and equal sign have the same dimension.
• Consider the previous example:
• In order to be homogeneous, ov v a t
tavv o

Rule 1
• If the dimensional quantities are replaced by their primary units the equation should reduce to an identity.
• In our example, what are the primary units? tavv o

Rule 2
• Dimensions do NOT add or subtract. In order to add or subtract variables, they must have the SAME units.
• In our example, [v] = [vo]. If you subtract them you have no units on the left

Rule 3
• Dimensions DO multiply and divide.

Prefixes
• As you’ve already seen, we’ll deal with both very large numbers and very small numbers.
• We will use scientific notation and/or engineering prefixes to represent these numbers

Some Quantities Must Be Dimensionless
• In Calculus you will see eax
• ax must be dimensionless (no units) 1/1• Example, if x is in m, a is in 1/m• If x is in s, a is in 1/s
• Some dimensionless quantities need units to make sense
• Example if v = vo e-at
v and vo have units volts

Class Activity In an electrical circuit the current i(t) in A
(Amperes) changes with time t in s according to the function i(t) = e-2t.
a) How could this function be dimensionally consistent knowing that the exponential function is always dimensionless (RHS), and that i(t) is in A on the LHS?
b) What are the units of the constant 2 in the exponential function?
