Hi everyone,
Would anyone be able to give me a few examples of places where units with non-integer exponents come up? I know of a couple right now: noise voltage density (?) in electronics has units [itex]\text{V}/\text{Hz}^\frac{1}{2}[/itex] and the statcoulomb has equivalent units [itex]\text{cm}^\frac{3}{2}\cdot\text{g}^\frac{1}{2}/\text{s}[/itex].
Are there many other places? One answer here on Stack Overflow says that they are "quite common" but I can't think of any other places where they come up.
Thanks!
