Micelles and Biological Membrane

Micelles are the type of lipid molecules that organize themselves in spherical shape in aqueous solutions. The production of the micelle is a reply to the amphipathic behavior of fatty acids. It means that they consist of both hydrophobic regions and hydrophilic regions. In micelles, polar head groups (hydrophilic groups) produce an outer layer associated with water whereas nonpolar tails (hydrophobic groups) are organized in the interior.

You determine the acetic acid (HOAc) content of vinegar by titrating with a sodium hydroxide standard solution to a phenolphthalein (an indicator) end point. An approximately 5-mL sample of vinegar is weighed on an analytical balance in a weighing boat and this is found to be 5.0268 g. The standard deviation in making a single weighing is 0.2 mg. The sodium hydroxide must be accurately standardised (this means its concentration must be accurately determined) by titrating known mass of high-purity potassium hydrogen phthalate, and three such titrations give molar concentrations of 0.1167, 0.1163 and 0.1164 mol L-1. A volume of 36.78 mL of sodium hydroxide is used to titrate each sample. The standard deviation of the burette used is 0.02 mL. Calculate the percentage of acetic acid in the vinegar and its standard deviation.

In our chemistry laboratory class, the formula for surface tension given is y=mg/2(pi) x r x f where y=surface tension, m= mass of the drop, g= gravitational acceleration, pi is 3.1415, r= outer radius of burette, f=correction factor. Now I searched the internet and it says that the unit for surface tension is kg x m/s^2. The problem is I have grams for the mass of the drop and that the outer radius of the burette is in centimeter while the gravitational acceleration is in meter. What will happen is like this: (1 g x 9.8 m/s^2) / 2 (3.1415) x 0.15 cm x 0.74643 (correction factor no unit) As you can see, if I don't cancel m and cm, the unit will be g x cm x m x s^2. However if change the radius of the burette into meter, it will cancel, the unit will be g x s^2 (missing meter). What can I do to get kg x m/s^2 as the unit for final answer?
