Physical units in mechanics are usually some combination of the dimensions time T, mass M, and length L. Consider the physical quantities m, r, u, a, and t with dimensions [m] = M, [r] = L, [u] = LT-, [a] = LT-2, and [1] = T. Enter the dimensional expression of the quantity on the right-hand side of each equation. Your answers may contain only M, L, T, and exponents. Assume that each of the following equations is dimensionally consistent. Lo = mur [Lo] = W = mar [W] = T
