Homework Help: chemistry

Posted by Jenn on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 at 5:59pm.

"Newton's law tells us that Force= Mass x Acceleration. We also know that Energy = Force x Distance and Pressure= Force/Area. Using these relationships and table I-1 [I'll type it out], derive (do math stuff) the dimensions of newtons, joules, and pascals in terms of the fundemental SI quantities."

I-1
Quantity - Unit - Symbol
length - meter - m
mass - kilogram - kg
time - second - s
elec. current - ampere - A
temperature - kelvin - K
lumin. int. - candela - cd
amount - mole - mol
plane angle - radian - rad
solid angle - steradian - sr

I have no clue how to go about deriving the dimensions of newtons, joules, and pascals. Could someone show me how, or at least point me in the right direction?

Please do not double post. I answered your question below. Double posting doesn't get your question answered any faster and it clutters the boards. Thanks.
