The attached file ends with a division of mass/mass; yet, the result is not unitless.   Please help.

 

Please ignore if I have a concept wrong.  The unitless result is driving me crazy.😩

 

Thanks for your help.

Just use gram (gm) instead of the constant of gravity (g) 🙂

Of course you can always redefine g:=gm  at the top of the sheet to be able to use g for gram if you don't need the built-in constant of gravity.

Thanks much.  It dawned on me after I hit send. 🙄

I keep forgetting about built in constants.  But at my age, I frequently forget where I am. 😆
