    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondimensionalization

    Nondimensionalization is the partial or full removal of physical dimensions from an equation involving physical quantities by a suitable substitution of variables.This technique can simplify and parameterize problems where measured units are involved.

  4. Dimensionless quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity

    A statement of this theorem is that any physical law can be expressed as an identity involving only dimensionless combinations (ratios or products) of the variables linked by the law (e. g., pressure and volume are linked by Boyle's Law – they are inversely proportional). If the dimensionless combinations' values changed with the systems of ...

    Listed below are all conversion factors that are useful to convert between all combinations of the SI base units, and if not possible, between them and their unique elements, because ampere is a dimensionless ratio of two lengths such as [C/s], and candela (1/683 [W/sr]) is a dimensionless ratio of two dimensionless ratios such as ratio of two volumes [kg⋅m 2 /s 3] = [W] and ratio of two ...

    the proportionality coefficient between rest energy and mass is c^2 which is not unitless. -- MarSch 16:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) As far as I can tell, the mathematical definition should imply that coefficients are unitless, however, the physical sciences have been using "coefficient" for factors that include dimensions for a long time, where ...

    where e is the elementary charge, ħ is the reduced Planck constant, c is the speed of light in vacuum, and ε 0 is the permittivity of free space. The fine-structure constant is fixed to the strength of the electromagnetic force. At low energies, α ≈ ⁠ 1 / 137 ⁠, whereas at the scale of the Z boson, about 90 GeV, one measures α ≈ ...
